What are some of the general tips for travellers to North Thailand during the COVID-19 outbreak?

With new COVID-19 rules and measures in effect, travel looks a lot different right now. These are some handy things to know before you get on that plane to North Thailand: Before locking in your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by checking government and travel websites. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for ID purposes. To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for screening. Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process. Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
