adsThe Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has said that passengers are being screened for symptoms associated with Ebola, and any suspected case will be promptly isolated and subjected to secondary health checks in line with established national and international health protocols.
In a statement by Henry Agbebire, Director, Public Affairs & Consumer Protection on Wednesday, he stated that robust preventive measures have been put in place across all international airports in response to the recent Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) situation in parts of Central Africa.
According to him, in close collaboration with Port Health Services, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), and other relevant agencies, FAAN has intensified surveillance and monitoring of passengers, particularly those arriving from high-risk regions.
