Three passengers from Ebola-hit Liberia taken to Delhi hospital
Adequate precautionary arrangements were made both at the Delhi and Mumbai airports to screen as many as 112 stranded Indians who are scheduled to arrive from Liberia.
Sources said the aircrafts, carrying passengers from and around Liberia, are first being taken to a remote bay after landing where all the passengers will have to undergo a screening process at the step-ladder exit.
The passengers without Ebola symptoms will be cleared and immediately shifted to the main terminal for immigration and customs clearance. But those with symptoms suggestive of EVD will be shifted directly to the designated hospital in ambulances from the bay.
Sources said Ethiopian Airline, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Jet Airways and South African Airways are supposed to fly with these passengers to Delhi and Mumbai.
