With strict COVID-19 precautions in effect, travel looks a lot different right now. These are some helpful things to know before you pack your suitcase for China:

• Know the rules and restrictions in 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 your flight.
• Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity.
• Do not hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
• TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will need to be removed from your bag and submitted for screening.
• To reduce handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on instead of the bins.
• Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
