What are some of the general tips for travelers to Orpheus Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't deterred our passion for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:
  • Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as testing and quarantining.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
  • To reduce the possibility of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on bag. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • Transport all 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 officer will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
