Is it safe to travel?
Many states have implemented travel advisories encouraging residents not to travel unless it is necessary. In Massachusetts travel should be limited to only those with essential purposes. Airports across the nation, including Boston Logan, Worcester Regional, and Hanscom Airfield, have taken steps to ensure their facilities are safe, including increased cleaning, added signage, and new social distancing measures. Passengers and staff are also required to wear a face covering while inside Massport facilities.
