What are some of the general tips for travellers to Santa Rosa Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't stifled our enthusiasm for exploring. Here are some tips on how to handle the new challenges of travelling:
  • Before booking anything, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government websites.
  • When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
