Quoting the Solomon Star newspaper – 30 January 2020
“ALL incoming international travellers will be subjected to temperature checks on arrival in the country.
“They will also be required to complete a Traveller’s Public Health Declaration Card.
“These are two of the latest measures the Ministry of Health and Medical Services has put in place as part of the efforts to keep the country safe from the coronavirus which is now spreading across the world.
“Incoming travellers who have been in China 15 days prior to their arrival here are mandated to report to the Ministry of Health’s Public Health Emergency and Surveillance Unit if they develop acute respiratory infection and have symptoms such as fever, cough and breathing difficulty,” Health Minister Dickson Mua said in an advisory issued Tuesday.
“Incoming travellers who have travelled to or from China within the past 15 days who display symptoms including fever and cough with or without breathing difficulty will be isolated upon arrival and will be investigated for coronavirus infection,” Mua added.”
