What are some of the general tips for travellers to Perhentian Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With new COVID-19 rules and measures to adhere to, travel looks a bit different these days. These are some handy things to know before you jet off to Perhentian Island:
  • Before committing to anything, check if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government and airport websites.
  • When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, coins and keys, and place them in your carry-on rather than into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to touch and inspect your belongings.
