What are some of the general tips for travellers to Penang Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll no doubt notice a few more rules and regulations in place. Follow these tips and make your trip to Penang Island go off without a hitch:
  • Before booking your flight, find out if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Get the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • 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.
  • You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
  • To minimize handling during the screening process, place items such as your phone, keys and wallet into your carry-on rather than the bins.
  • Separate any food you're carrying 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 officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
