Mumabi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday asked all foreign airlines to draw up a list of India-bound passengers who have visited any Ebola-hit countries within two weeks of the date of journey. Doctors will be positioned at airports in India to screen these passengers on arrival.
Even as a man suspecting himself to be affected with Ebola got admitted to a Vasai hospital on Monday, only to be given an all-clear, officials of the Airport Health Organisation (AHO) held a meeting at T2, Sahar, to ensure that not a single arriving passenger with possible symptoms goes undetected.
Based on feedback from Mumbai and Delhi airports, the DGCA issued guidelines that will enable officials to be prepared to screen these passengers when they arrive at the directed airports. All airlines operating on international routes are to take steps against the spread of Ebola virus, including distribution of pamphlets and pro forma to passengers.
