What are some of the general tips for travellers to Northern Sweden during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With new COVID-19 rules and measures to follow, travel looks a lot different at the moment. Here's what you need to know before you fly off to Northern Sweden:
  • Know what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book your flight.
  • When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for X-ray screening.
  • Empty your personal items from your pocket, such as your small change and phone, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • If you want to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
