News related to the spread of coronavirus and its impact on travel seems to be coming faster than we can keep up with it.
On Sunday, the U.S. State Department issued a notice urging U.S. citizens not to travel by cruise ship.
The CDC is also discouraging older adults and anyone with underlying health issues from taking long plane trips and spending time in crowded places.
Airports would count as crowded places. Although with so many flights canceled and so many travelers staying home, airports are far less crowded than usual.
But for those who are traveling, airports and airlines are continuing to scrub facilities and share information about what they’re doing to keep passengers safe.
Here are just a few messages from the past few days.
Ensuring the safety of passengers is a top priority. So when hand sanitizing stations are on back order from the manufacturer, our carpenters just custom-build and install our own. Learn more about what we’re doing to protect the airport here: https://t.co/VQSY7A9kdb pic.twitter.com/iUdxthBLzy

It’s business as usual at LGB. There has been no reduction in flight service because of #COVID19. We are working hard to keep our airport clean and safe by dedicating staff to disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces. #COVID19LongBeach pic.twitter.com/nVey3DLMcv
