What are some of the general tips for travellers to North Central San Diego during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the world in countless ways, including how and where we're able to travel. These tips will help you better understand the new challenges and get you ready for your trip to North Central San Diego:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
  • Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Empty everything from your pocket, such as your phone, keys and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
