(VOV) – The Hanoi Department of Health is stepping up measures to prevent the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus from entering the country via Noi Bai International Airport.
Amid reports of potential infections, municipal health leaders have asked the Centre for International Health Quarantine to closely co-ordinate with state management agencies in efforts to monitor travelers at air terminals, especially those from nations experiencing outbreaks of the disease.
The Centre for International Health Quarantine has installed two digital infrared thermal scanners at Noi Bai airport to detect passengers who show signs of the acute disease such as high fever.
There are two isolated rooms with sufficient medicines at the airport, while two emergency cars are put on standby to transport patients to the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases.
The centre for International Health Quarantine and relevant units at the airport also are implementing co-ordination mechanisms to rapidly deal with emergency cases.
