What are some of the general tips for travellers to Borneo during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't done away with our zest for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to navigate the new challenges of travelling:
  • Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
  • To avoid 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 employee.
  • TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Remove items from your pocket, like your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • If you're planning to take food on the plane with you, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
