Shire of Mount Morgan Trip

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a host of new regulations and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your journey to Shire of Mount Morgan go off without a hitch:

• Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as taking a COVID-19 test.
• Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
• To reduce the likelihood 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 bag. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray scanning.
• Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
