Sars and change planes in taiwan

[gguffey]

Im flying from San Francisco to BKK with a plane change in Taipei. Im not leaving the airport in Taipei. Does anyone know if I am going to be treated the same as if im coming from a SARS affected country? (10 days with a mask and doctor checkups every 3 days)

You ARE coming from a SARS infected country; even if you are just in transit.  Believe you have the option of mask or health checks.

My ex-wife came from Hawaii and Japan via Taipei two weeks ago.  She flew from Japan and connected in Taiwan but did not stay over.

On arrival in Bangkok, passengers were all asked to complete a form about SARS symptoms and to answer related questions in the arrival hall.  As long as they did not have symptoms, they were not stopped or checked.  There was no requirement for wearing a mask or getting medical checks.

Agree with Lanny... I flew EVA Vancouver/Bangkok with aircraft change and 3 hours layover in Taipei...

Nothing special on arrival at Bangkok.. Just temperature check and sent on my merry way..
