(CNN) — Traffic at airport security checkpoints reached a new high this weekend, crossing 800,000 for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic caused passenger numbers to plummet. The Transportation Security Administration said it screened 831,789 passengers on Sunday. For comparison, that is 31% of the equivalent 2019 numbers, when the TSA saw more than 2.6 million people on the same day last year. On average, traffic is about 27% of last year's numbers. Acrylic barriers are being installed in phases at various spots throughout checkpoints to reduce close contact.
