What are some of the general tips for travelers to Southern Illinois during the COVID-19 outbreak?

  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
  • To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for X-ray scanning.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
