What are some of the general tips for travelers to Mindanao during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has led to significant changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Mindanao, these tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:
  • Understand the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check before you book your flight.
  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travelers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA is now permitting 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.
  • Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you're planning to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
