Incoming International Passengers and Flight Crews Screened for Coronavirus (Covid-19) at KLIA
Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), the management company in charge of
operating the KLIA is working closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to
screen international passengers at its gateway airports across the country in
light of the Coronavirus outbreak originating from Wuhan, China.
Extra measures are being taken by the airport operator, the relevant agencies
and the airlines to ensure that the risk of exposure is minimised for the safety
of everyone, especially the passengers and staff working at the terminal. MAHB
would like to reassure everyone that MAHB are taking this outbreak seriously and
will not compromise the well-being of MAHB stakeholders.
One of the measures taken by the MOH and supported by MAHB is the carrying out
of thermal screening for arriving passengers and flight crews from China. MAHB
have allocated special medical bays for quarantine purposes at the arrival gates
to cater to any passengers who are exhibiting symptoms of the virus.
Apart from that, MAHB have reassigned the arrival gates for the incoming flights
from China to be nearer to the medical bay to expedite the quarantine procedure
and minimise the risk of exposure to a wider crowd.
MAHB airline partners are making the necessary announcements to their passengers
on board and distributing a Health Alert Card (HAC) issued by the MOH for
passengers to declare their current state of health. Those who are having a
fever or cough or facing difficulties in breathing will be immediately brought
to the nearest hospital upon arrival. The HAC are also distributed at the
immigration counters.
The Airport has provided masks and hand sanitisers for staff to use and placed
strategically across the terminal.
MAHB would like to remind the traveling public to be safe and responsible by
wearing a mask at all times and to use hand sanitizer to maintain maximum
hygiene during this outbreak.
