What are some of the general tips for travellers to Espiritu Santo during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With strict COVID-19 precautions in place, travel looks a lot different at the moment. Here are a few things to know before you pack your suitcase for Espiritu Santo:
  • Before you lock in a flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for ID purposes.
  • To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • TSA now permits passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag to be screened.
  • Empty everything from your pockets, such as your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
