Face masks are required on all forms of transportation, and travelers are encouraged to wash hands, sanitize belongings frequently, cover nose\/mouth with the crook of their arms when sneezing or coughing, and so forth, and visitors should expect stringent enforcement of all compliance by local officials. Travelers are also encouraged to utilize electronic payment where possible, take advantage of free hand sanitizer stations, submit to temperature checks by businesses and tourism operators, and to use digital maps and menus where possible in order to avoid cross-contamination through paper.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, many of Panama\u2019s beaches remain closed to prevent crowding and spread of infection.<\/p>\n<p>Travelers are encouraged to stay within a \u201csocial bubble\u201d limited to their travel companions throughout the duration of their stay, as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Restaurants are encouraged to accept reservations ahead of time in order to avoid crowds, and all tables must be separated at a socially distanced metric of six feet in each direction. Condiments will be offered in individual package sizes, and no buffets will be open. Menus will either be offered in stand form or digitally through the use of QR codes, and hand sanitizer will be available at the table or in high-traffic areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/travel-changed-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How coronavirus could forever change the face of travel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tours and tour sites will be limited to 50 percent capacity in shared ground transportation vehicles such as cars and buses, and venues are limited to 30 percent capacity and a maximum four people per table. Capacity at the marina is reduced to 25 percent of full capacity to avoid crowds.<\/p>\n<p>Panama has implemented stringent protocols for hotel and public safety. All hotel reception areas will have physical separation barriers such as protective glass or acrylic sheets, while lobbies and waiting rooms will be cleaned three times per day and elevators must be cleaned and disinfected every two hours. Everyone must comply with the maximum capacity limits on elevators, and wait for the next car if the limit has been reached. Hotels can no longer serve food buffet-style; only a la carte in hotel restaurants or via room service.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/extreme-social-distancing\/\">Related: The extreme lengths some establishments are taking to maintain social distance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"getting-there-and-where-to-stay\">Getting there and where to stay<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/marriott-bonvoy-beginners-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The beginners\u2019 guide to the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hilton Honors guide to loyalty<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/ihg-rewards-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The award traveler\u2019s guide to IHG Rewards Club<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/ultimate-guide-world-of-hyatt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Your ultimate guide to the World of Hyatt loyalty program<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flights are very cheap to Panama right now, with the lowest rates beginning between Fort Lauderdale and Panama City for $166 round trip.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/panama-reopens-for-us-coronavirua\/attachment\/screen-shot-2020-10-08-at-3-28-03-pm-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1014296\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1014296 size-large lazyautosizes blur-up lazyloaded ls-is-cached\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-08-at-3.28.03-PM-2.png?width=25\" sizes=\"auto, 694px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-08-at-3.28.03-PM-2.png?width=700&amp;dpr=1 1x,https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-08-at-3.28.03-PM-2.png?width=700&amp;dpr=2 2x\" alt=\"\" width=\"2408\" height=\"1380\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-08-at-3.28.03-PM-2.png?width=700&amp;dpr=1 1x,https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-08-at-3.28.03-PM-2.png?width=700&amp;dpr=2 2x\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Flights on alliance carriers hover around the $330 round trip mark from the cheapest destinations in Miami and Fort Lauderdale to Panama.
