Seven Indian airports screening passengers arriving from China, Hong Kong for coronavirus

Updated : January 22, 2020 06:22 AM IST

Airlines have been asked to guide the passengers to fill up self-reporting forms before disembarking the aircraft so that the information can be assessed by concerned officials on arrival.

The civil aviation ministry has also asked airports to make arrangements for the thermal screening of passengers before they go towards the immigration area.

As far as China is concerned, Indigo and Air India are the two Indian carriers, other than China Southern, Air China and other airlines.

The government has expanded screening of passengers arriving from China and Hong Kong to seven airports of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Cochin on account of threat of a new respiratory coronavirus.

The screening was earlier being done at the airports of Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata.

In order to facilitate early detection of patients suffering from this virus in the flights coming from China and Hong Kong, the civil aviation ministry has asked airlines to make in-flight announcements requesting passengers who have travelled to Wuhan city in the last 14 days and who are suffering from fever and cough to self-declare at port of arrival or to State Health Authorities.

Airlines have been asked to guide the passengers to fill up self-reporting forms before disembarking the aircraft so that the information can be assessed by concerned officials on arrival.

The civil aviation ministry has also asked airports to make arrangements for the thermal screening of passengers before they go towards the immigration area.

Travellers who start suffering from fever, cough and shortness of breath within 28 days of arrival in India should also visit the nearest hospital and report to health authorities, the government has said.

"Operational procedures recommended by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) with regard to managing the suspected communicable disease on board an aircraft. All passengers and crew who are otherwise healthy should be allowed to continue their onward journey. If the ill passenger or crew member is confirmed as a probable case of Wuhan Corona Virus, public health authorities should be notified about the contacts using the Passenger Locator Form," the government’s advisory said.

Several countries have increased checks at airports to detect the symptoms of the coronavirus which first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

Indian carriers like Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet connect India and Hong Kong among other global airlines. As far as China is concerned, Indigo and Air India are the two Indian carriers, other than China Southern, Air China and other airlines.

The outbreak of the virus comes when millions of Chinese travel to their hometowns and overseas to celebrate Lunar New Year, which is also called by many as the world’s biggest annual mass migration.
