coulson Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Oman air should be giving out thermometers with the immigration card as standard. Strange that ever since the first case in Thailand was also Omani, yet there's nothing in any gulf news to indicate it's becoming a problem again.
