What are some of the general tips for travellers to Mindanao during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 outbreak has led to significant changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Mindanao, these tips will help you navigate travel's newest challenges:

  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Travellers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag and presented for screening.
  • Place any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you're planning to take food through security screening, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
