Just media reports saying that countries such as South Korea and Singapore have included rigorous airport screening as part of their overall contact and trace strategy which has seemingly led to lower deaths per million and a quicker flattening of the curve. I understand that SK were better prepared than most due to their response and learning from SARS. I would imagine that mandatory screening in addition to a mandatory quarantine in itself will make people think twice before even trying to enter the country and thus lower new cases coming into the country.
