Airports take proactive measures to combat Covid-19 Surge. In response to a recent uptick in Covid-19 cases worldwide, major airports across Pakistan have swiftly implemented directives from the National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC) to enhance safety measures and curb the potential spread of the virus.
As part of these measures, airports are now screening 2% of all international flights arriving in Pakistan, aiming to promptly identify and isolate any potential Covid-19 cases among incoming passengers. This proactive approach aligns with the country’s commitment to ensuring public health and safety.
To further fortify the defense against the virus, airports are mandated to conduct daily fumigation of passenger lounges. This practice, carried out at least once a day, is designed to create a clean and sanitized environment for passengers and staff, thereby minimizing the risk of virus transmission within airport premises.
Recognizing the critical role of Border Health Services staff in this effort, airports have been instructed to extend full cooperation to these frontline workers. This includes facilitating their tasks and adhering to all prescribed protocols and guidelines. The collaborative approach seeks to streamline the screening process and maintain the highest standards of safety.
These stringent measures underscore the collective commitment of Pakistan’s airports to contribute actively to national efforts in controlling the spread of Covid-19. By prioritizing the safety and well-being of passengers and staff, the airports aim to provide a secure and sanitized travel environment.
