Officials
at Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Kalibo say they are
following from the Centers for Disease Control and federal customs and border
protection officials to identify passengers displaying possible symptoms of
communicable diseases such as Ebola.
According
to CAAP General Manager Cynthia Aspera, the passengers should not have to worry
since that Kalibo International Airport (KIA) are urging screenings at all of
the state's international airports as a preventative measure.
Aspera
said, “KIA conducted 24 hours of quarantine and as expanding airport
examinations to guard against the spread of the deadly disease.”
She
added, “It's important also to be vigilant, but not afraid.”
Meanwhile,
Aspera refused to give her statement about the preparation of Caticlan Airport.
It
will be recalled that DOH Assistant Secretary Dr. Eric Tayag recently concluded
“National Ebola Virus Disease Summit-scarce” in the country and recommends travel
restrictions against the deadly disease.
