Sherwood Island State Park Holidays

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19  you'll notice a range of new rules and regulations in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Sherwood Island State Park go off without a hitch:

• Look into if any restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book your flight.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then 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 need to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
• Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and coins) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
• If you're bringing food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
