Airports of Thailand (AOT) deployed thermal scanners at six international airports to screen passengers from China, particularly Wuhan, combating an unidentified viral pneumonia outbreak.
This proactive measure addresses 44 reported infections in Wuhan, including 11 severe cases, which has raised fears reminiscent of the 2002/3 SARS epidemic.
AOT collaborates with the Disease Control Department, directing airlines to disembark passengers from Wuhan at specific ramps for health screening before immigration checkpoints.
Passengers displaying fever are isolated with their entire flight and assessed by health officials, with severe cases transferred to hospitals equipped with special facilities.
The Public Health Minister reassures the public of Thailand's effective screening systems to contain infections, urging calm despite the virus's unknown identity.
