Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Several limitations exist for this study. First, our sample of international travellers was limited due to the rapid implementation of travel restrictions and border closures in multiple countries in response to the rapidly changing situation of COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, all participants of telephone interviews reported that they had essential business or reasonable needs to travel abroad, our findings therefore may not be generalisable to those travelling for leisure purposes. However, the study benefits from being an early evaluation of adherence behaviour and responses to public health guidance among international travellers in the pandemic. Most importantly, it provides an opportunity to learn from the opening stages of the pandemic about how people navigate between differing national rules and guidance across borders. It provides insights that can inform recommendations for improving information provision and hence individual adherence for public health benefit. Public health implication: While international travellers were conscious of the potential risks associated with travel and keen to mitigate those risks, it is important to ensure that international travellers get information and official guidance on the key restrictions and preventive measures for the country to which they are travelling. The provision of a centralised and regularly updated official information hub would help to minimise possible confusion between different sources of guidance. In addition,...
