As India gears up to prevent the Ebola virus from entering the country, the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Hyderabad has set up four teams of doctors to screen the passengers flying in from the virus-hit West African countries.
"Four teams of doctors have been posted at RGIA (Rajiv Gandhi International Airport) to screen passengers arriving from the West African countries for the deadly Ebola virus," Jupaka Mahesh, Airport Health Organisation Chief and Senior Regional Director (Regional Office for Health and Family Welfare), told DNA.
These teams will be working all around the clock to check the passengers coming in from Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. The teams would not only check for the Ebola symptoms in every passenger but also for their travel history.
"Our teams are working round-the-clock to examine any suspected cases of Ebola by checking passengers through their travel history and symptoms," Mahesh pointed out.
