Kochi Airport in Kerala, India, has initiated emergency health protocols following the World Health Organization's declaration of a Public Health Emergency regarding the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. As of May 20, there are 600 suspected cases and 139 suspected deaths linked to this outbreak. Passengers arriving from affected countries, particularly Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan, will face thermal screening and must submit self-declaration forms detailing their 21-day travel history. Isolation wards have been set up at local hospitals to manage any suspected cases. The outbreak is driven by the Bundibugyo strain, which lacks an approved vaccine or specific treatment, heightening concerns among health officials. Symptoms may develop within two to 21 days post-exposure, including fever, sore throat, and unexplained bleeding. While health authorities emphasize that there is no cause for panic, they stress the importance of vigilance, especially given Kerala's high volume of international traffic. The national health system is on alert, with other airports like Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport also issuing advisories for travelers from the affected regions.
