Medic's in the airport

[Imbert369]

Hello all has anyone noticed when you debark the airplane before you hit customs there are 2 people who look like they work in a hospital dressed in white lab coats with a screening machine. Does anyone know what they are screening for its not a machine like a metal detector. Any clues

They'll let you in but if your temp is over their limits indicating the virus mentioned then you'll likely be isolated for a little while until they determine if indeed you are infected. If so, you can still come in and your health is monitored by public health officials and they expect you to isolate yourself meanwhile. It's a public service control point.
