What are some of the general tips for travellers to Iriomote during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't done away with our love of exploring. Here are some tips on how to handle travel's new challenges:
  • Before booking anything, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by checking official government websites.
  • You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
  • 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 officer.
  • 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 and submitted for screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pocket, like your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Food items often trigger the alarm. Putting them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.
