The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't shut down our zest for exploring. Here are some tips on how to handle the new challenges of traveling:

• Find out what rules and restrictions apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check in advance.
• Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
• Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should position the pass on the reader and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Transport any food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
