Spread of new virus pneumonia infection Measures at Chubu Airport before Spring Festival January 22 15:09

Central China Airport in Aichi Prefecture is taking countermeasures following the spread of pneumonia, which is thought to be caused by a new type of coronavirus in China.

At Chubu Airport, China Southern Airlines and Urumqi Airlines operate five non-stop flights to Wuhan a week, and quarantine stations are stepping up efforts to prevent the spread of infection.

At the quarantine station, quarantine officers used thermography and other methods to check if any passengers were suspected of fever due to pneumonia.

Since last week, the quarantine station has been calling on quarantine officers to report to those who have symptoms such as coughs and fever, but has also been re-posting the poster to ask if they are taking dams or antipyretics.

According to the airport company, the central airport has decided to increase the number of flights to Taipei and Shanghai during the Chinese New Year, so it is expected that measures to prevent the spread of infection will continue.
