The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in dramatic changes to how we travel. If you're planning a trip to Verzasca Valley, these tips will help you navigate these new challenges:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking anything. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• When you pass through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding.
• To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
• You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening.
• To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
• If you want 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 employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
