The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't stifled our love of exploring. Here are some tips on how to cope with travel's new challenges:

• Understand what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you book.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding.
• To reduce the likelihood 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.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food on board, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
