Pilgrims arriving at Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) are being screened, tested and given preventive medication against the Ebola virus.
Fahd Al-Ghazwi, supervisor of the preventive center at the airport, told a local newspaper that a medical team wearing protective clothing “examines pilgrims who have flown in for Haj, especially pilgrims coming from West Africa.”
Passengers are required to fill out medical forms and are administered medication as soon as they disembark from their flights.
