Monkeypox testing kiosks have been set up at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. International passengers, especially those arriving from African countries, will undergo screening for the monkeypox virus and if found positive would have to undergo 21 day mandatory quarantine and isolation. The rules are similar to those implemented during COVID pandemic.
"KIA is fully prepared and compliant with all health and safety protocols issued by relevant authorities in light of the global Mpox situation. All international passengers arriving at the airport are being thoroughly checked for elevated temperatures as part of the screening process," a spokesperson for the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) told the media.
