webfact Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Suvarnabhumi to screen all people coming to the airport By THE NATION The management of Suvarnabhumi Airport has stepped up measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 by screening all people coming to the site, beginning at 10 am tomorrow (March 18), said airport deputy director Kittipong Kittikachorn today (March 17). Under the 'terminal screening' method, thermoscan cameras and medical personnel will screen and observe all passengers, persons seeing off passengers, business operators in the airport, before they can enter the airport buildings. If a person's body temperature exceeds 37.5 degree Celcius, he/she will be taken to designated areas where airport officials will recheck their temperature after ten minutes. If the body temperature still exceeds 37.5 degree, officials will proceed according to the guidelines. Kittipong also advised passengers to arrive at the airport well in advance of their flights, citing adoption of the new screening process.

RichardColeman Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Great, but a paracetamol and you'll breeze through 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRich Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If you take paracetamol it will bring down your temperature, and of course asymptomatic cases will walk straight through. I think it’s too late for Thailand, there are simply too many cases walking around shedding like plague spreaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 About time. Ops Normal at most most major airports in Asia every time since at least 2014? H1N1 or was it earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I got back to Canada on the 15th. No masks, no temperature checks, no questions, either i Vancouver or Calgary. Many of the passengers were not wearing masks from Taipei to Vancouver. In BC and Ontario virus cases are going up. Now finally on the 17th. 4 airports are the only entry points and maybe the arriving passengers will get checked, and maybe some airport staff will start wearing masks. In the USA there are lots of cases of virus as well. Get ready to see a lot more cases here in Canada and the US. The government says all peoppe coming from Europe and Asia will have to self isolate for 14 days. Serious times folks, like I am doing Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Taking a temperature reading doesn't prove that much, in the early stages symptoms have not manifested. Lumpini boxing stadium is a great example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside Gray Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Should be easy to do as hardly anyone there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Bill Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 This screening was in force last week at Don Meaung Airport (DMK). All passengers for International flights, having checked in at the airline desk, were individually screened before they entered passport control. Suvarnabhumi late again!!

Orton Rd Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 six weeks late and almost useless as a large percentage of infected are asymptomatic, which is partly why this is so dangerous. Stop the flights you idiots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gervais Bilodeau Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Testing is the only sure way to detect the virus in people...forget temperature checking. The infected without symptoms are passing right under their nose and go spread the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumpini boxing stadium is a great example. Yes, and it also will result in huge numbers of 'false positives', in the sense that the vast majority of people with a slightly elevated temperature will be suffering from something like the common cold. Do they want to and are they capable of quarantining all these cases. Maybe all in the same room with that one Corona infection so that all cold sufferers can also catch Covid-19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the flights you idiots Stopping all flights buggers up Australia's warning for all its citizens to return home. "Under the 'terminal screening' method, thermoscan cameras and medical personnel will screen and observe all passengers, persons seeing off passengers, business operators in the airport, before they can enter the airport buildings." Might help to ban all 'persons seeing off passengers and business operators" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
