I don't think they do. They have to start.

There have already, apparently, been complaints that passengers landing were given information leaflets in English and no other checks.

Don't your doctors' offices etc give face mask to you if you're coughing when you go in? Here since SARS hit us anyone coughing for any reason has to wear a mask no question.
Sad to say I think it's probably already spread to most countries that have any connections to China etc, trouble is any screening they do at airports will get lots of false positives as early signs are very similar to flu.

Unfortunately not a lot we can do except hope we don't catch it, or if we do we can get over it.
It seems strange that SARS also originated in China?

Been reported three in Edinburgh one in Glasgow new cases flown in from China .not nice at all Barbara

I got told off yesterday by a practice nurse for not getting help with my horrendous cold at the end of December.

I told her I would have cleared the waiting room! No one wants to be in the same room as someone coughing and spluttering the way I was.

Yes but, as it is spread by coughing and sneezing the Chinese idea of face masks is probably better, having been sitting in the doctors waiting room yesterday with a man who saw no need for a hankie over his mouth when he both coughed and sneezed.

Extra vigilance with hand-washing

Frightening thought but even if it isn't it will be. And our Grandson is due to start wotk in China (Beijing) next month

If any of the newspapers are to be believed ( ;-) ) then Coronavirus may already be here.

Lets hope they are ALL wrong.
