Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll no doubt notice a few more standards and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to China go off without a hitch:

Before booking anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your destination and origin. Get up-to-date information by checking government travel advisories.
Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
You are now permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
If you're bringing food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
