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

COVID-19 may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't deterred our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are some tips on how to deal with the new challenges of travelling: Find out the rules and restrictions in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check in advance. When you go through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding. To minimize the risk 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 employee. TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning. Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening. Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
