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

With the continuation of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few more challenges than usual. Read through these worthwhile tips before jumping on your flight to Sumba: Before committing to anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing official government websites. Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes. Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection. TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening. Place any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process. If you're taking food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
