Mpox screening & quarantine on arrival?
https://www.dnaindia.com/india/repor...ry-for-3107735
Several news articles are saying "all" international arrivals are being screened, while also simultaneously having confusing details about this applying only to "certain" flyers or those flying from high risk areas. Any personal experiences of the situation at BLR (or other Indian airports in case they start this up elsewhere too) would be very welcome. |
Health screening is a state matter, so if the state of Karnataka is queasy about mpox they can start screening arrivals. The central govt has issued this notification:
https://www.mohfw.gov.in/?q=diseasealerts-0 In Annex 4 they just recommend the following: Role of APHOs/PHOs: a. Remain in a state of alert, particularly for the passengers arriving from countries reporting monkey pox outbreaks, b. Familiarize with clinical presentation of monkey pox, c. Undertake strict thermal screening and history of travel to affected countries in last 21 days, d. Establish/strengthen referral arrangements from airport/port to identified link hospital. e. Also, familiarize Bureau of Immigration personnel, airline personnel and any State health personnel deployed with them about the disease, f. Inform concerned airlines about detection of a suspect case for the purpose of disinfection procedure to be followed as per standard guidelines. |
