Efforts to prevent Bali from SARS
DENPASAR (indo.com): Balinese government has taken preventive
measures against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
They include:
- Providing clinicians, briefing airport staff and workers
on SARS. The Health Department has produced leaflets
on SARS in Bahasa Indonesia and distributed them to
clinics, airlines, airport and air travel personnel.
- Brochures with information about SARS are made available
for everyone entering Bali (Advice for Travelers about
SARS).
- Information booths with multilingual assistants have
been established at the international Airport.
- Every arriving passenger has to file a declaration
and let the authorities know his/her itineraries and
address.
- At least 3 doctors and several nurses screen every
incoming passenger for symptoms of SARS related distress
before they join the queue for immigration. A second
team does the same job at the domestic Airport.
