What are some of the general tips for travelers to Southern Finland during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about major changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Southern Finland, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules:
  • Investigate what, if any, rules or restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you lock something in.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
  • To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • TSA now permits 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 for screening.
  • Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • If you're taking food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
