If you're getting ready for your next business trip or feel ready to venture out on a vacation, there are some changes you need to know about at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in this COVID-19 era.

CVG has installed plexiglass guards at all airline ticket counters and gates. New signage reiterates the need for social distancing and good personal hygiene. Queue lanes are wider inside the TSA security checkpoint to make spacing easier.
According to airport CEO Candace McGraw, "One of the things that's being debated right now (is) should there be temperature checks for passengers? I know there's some conversation going on in Washington about TSA doing temperature checks. I don't know how that's going to play out."
McGraw was the speaker at Tuesday's Eggs 'N Issues event sponsored by the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.

Do I Have To Wear A Mask?
According to McGraw, "We are encouraging everyone to wear a mask the minute they hit the terminal building. It will not be required but we're strongly encouraging it. Now, the airline employees will have to be wearing them, the airport employees will be wearing them. They'll be everywhere and I know a passenger will need one to board an aircraft."
