Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

The COVID-19 outbreak has triggered dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're flying to South Korea, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
You must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
