In light of the five confirmed cases, Thailand, Nepal, and Taiwan have stepped up their precautionary measures at airports similar to steps that were enforced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a press release, Thailand’s Department of Disease Control (TDDC) said that the measures were in place ‘to monitor and screen travelers at international communicable disease control checkpoints’.
It went on, per Fox News: “Measures have been taken to monitor travelers.
“[If] travelers [are found] with high fever or have symptoms compatible with Nipah virus infection, additional screening will be done at the international communicable disease control checkpoint.”
