Bhubaneswar's Biju Patnaik International Airport has initiated a comprehensive surveillance system for international travelers following the World Health Organization's (WHO) designation of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). The airport's director, Prasanna Pradhan, confirmed that mandatory thermal screening is now in place, along with a requirement for passengers to disclose their travel history over the past 21 days to identify any potential risk factors. Additionally, isolation and testing facilities have been established on-site, adhering to the guidelines set forth by the Union Health Ministry. Passengers arriving from international flights, such as one from Bangkok, are being closely monitored for symptoms including high fever, body aches, and unusual fatigue. The health ministry has directed all states and Union territories to bolster their surveillance efforts, hospital readiness, and screening protocols for international travelers, particularly those arriving from affected regions. Symptoms to watch for include fever, weakness, muscle pain, and gastrointestinal issues, among others.
