SIALKOT, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 22nd Aug, 2024) The Sialkot International Airport Limited (SIAL) is committed to ensuring safety and well-being of all passengers, staff, and visitors amid global concerns over the monkeypox outbreak.

In light of recent developments, the airport has implemented a series of stringent precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus and maintain a safe environment for everyone.

According to a spokesperson, SIAL has started health screenings for all incoming passengers.

Additionally, all airport staff are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE) and are trained to follow strict hygiene protocols.

To keep passengers informed, SIAL has launched an awareness campaign across various platforms, including digital screens, social media, and in-flight announcements. The campaign provides critical information about monkeypox, its symptoms, and preventive measures, ensuring that passengers are well-informed and can take appropriate precautions.

The airport is closely collaborating with national health authorities, including the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO), to stay updated on the latest guidelines and recommendations. This partnership ensures that Sialkot International Airport remains at the forefront of implementing best practices to safeguard public health. Passengers are advised to stay informed about travel advisories and follow the guidance provided by health authorities.
