It is reported by Vtomske.ru with reference to the head of the department for surveillance of the regional Rospotrebnadzor Andrei Rudikov.

“On international flights in the Tomsk region, mandatory sanitary-quarantine control has been organized. There is a control point at which specialists from the department of Rospotrebnadzor work and monitor the people entering, ”he said.

According to him, right after the plane lands, the specialist finds out from the crew whether passengers had complaints, whether help was needed, or if there were signs of any incidence.

“Now we have received federal letters to strengthen cross-border control,” Rudikov said.

He added that in hospitals, specialists should find out from patients whether they were recently abroad.

Earlier it was reported that at the Center for Strategic Planning of the Ministry of Health of Russia, scientists began work on creating an express test to detect the 2019-nCoV coronavirus, which has already gone beyond China.
