What are some of the general tips for travelers to San Diego County during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling now comes with a few extra challenges. Take a look at these worthwhile tips before jumping on your flight to San Diego County:

  • Research the rules and restrictions in both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check government advisories before booking.
  • When you pass through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Travelers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
  • Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you have for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
