What are some of the general tips for travelers to Ruhr during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't put the brakes on our appetite for exploring. Here are some tips on how to tackle the new challenges of traveling:
  • Before booking anything, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Keep informed with the latest updates by reviewing government websites.
  • You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
  • To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted 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 screening.
  • To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
