Airlines told to take precautions at Delhi airport on Coronavirus by DGCA
NEW DELHI: The airlines and the Airport Health Organization (APHO), which is responsible for screening of flyers for the coronavirus, have been asked to stay alert and heighten vigil by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA).
While the passengers from Italy and Iran are also to be screened now, an airport official said no instruction had come to scan domestic travellers.
Till early February, only four countries — China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand — were on the mandatory screening list. It has now been expanded to 12 countries, including Japan, South Korea, Nepal, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia.
