Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

COVID-19 has brought about dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning a holiday in South Africa, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding.
Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for screening.
Empty everything from your pockets, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
If you're bringing food through the screening checkpoint, put 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.
