Nipah-Virus
Operators at Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport have installed thermal scanners to monitor passengers' body temperatures in a bid to prevent the spread of the Nipah virus, which is emerging abroad. Although the virus has not been detected in Indonesia, the Deputy Minister of Health emphasizes the need for early vigilance. Health experts recommend clean and healthy living behaviors as the primary prevention measure, given the lack of a vaccine.
