Sacramento International Airport is taking extra precautions ... custodians have been advised to be more vigilant and use gloves and other protective wear, said spokeswoman Gina Swankie.
Airport staff members have also been familiarizing themselves with an action plan in the event health authorities declare a pandemic of the flu virus.
The action plan includes making available breathing masks for people on flights where passengers may possibly be infected, and separating infected individuals from the rest of the airport population.
Hand sanitizers are already available throughout the airport, Swankie said. They can be found near the baggage claim area in Terminal A, the lobby waiting area of the international building, the lower floor of Terminal B, and near the food areas.
