Different times...

My first travel in 8 weeks was this week, connecting in IAH. If coming from a hot spot area - NY, WA, LA, etc - I can confirm TX DPS/State Troopers will meet you at the door once exiting the jet bridge. Be prepared to document where you are staying in TX or present a boarding pass for your connecting flight.

IAH was eerily empty. Only 1 TSA check point open (term C) and only 1 person in line there. Walked to the skytrain in Term C for the ride to Term B and then walked to the B gates. Counted no more than 20 people including airline/airport staff. Flights were UAX and no more than 10 on any flight and many of these were flight crews flying to their next assignment.

Almost everything in IAH was shut down and those which were open are all food/newsstand (ie Hudson) All had significant barriers to separate customers from food workers.

All vendor outlets and restaurants are closed off and wrapped in plastic covering.
