The Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bandung, Indonesia, has set up two thermal scanners and body cleaners as part of efforts to control the spread of infectious diseases such as hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD), SARS and avian flu.
According to a Jakarta Post report, the scanners were previously installed during the SARS outbreak of 2005, but had since broken down. The camera-based scanners screen all passengers arriving from international destinations before they are permitted to exit the terminal.
