Ok

I landed at MMA from the US on Delta last week and this man is right on the money. At MMA we were made fill a full page questionnaire regardless of which passport you are using for entry. On arrival, they collected the forms and checked for temperature abnormalities. Also, I noticed a monitor that is taking our temperature as we walk closer to the officers.
I'm impressed with the level of preparation at MMA. There was zero precautions while leaving from Atlanta airport, zero precaution.
Like I stated earlier that temperaturw thing has been there since ebola. Ask yourself how those qurstionnaires are used. Are thungs documented or are you just filling forms which will be thrown aside as you people usually do.

isn't Joe abah a PDP man?.....do u even realise that american,UK,Japan and other highly industrialisrd nations have recorded more cases and fatalities than the 3 African nations that have recorded cases ?

African nations have been able to curb the pandemic than others



now, I'm starting to think Africans/African nations have been sooo degraded, etc - by Africans themselves and other nations that we can barely find a single good thing to say/praise about ourselves. When you hear 'African,' 'beneath, low, subhuman' and the likes are the first words that come mind. The continent has been closely linked with backwardness... and mostly in people's mind.

I'm not justifying the things not working here, but at least we shouldn't be quick to dismiss any idea of progress, and inventions happening here. We don't know the 'bad things' going on in other countries.

Some people will still find something ugly to say about this news now. Or still criticize. Judge. They never see any thing good about the country.......

Jonathan my hero was also prepared during the Ebola ish.

For Buhari, you may survive Coronavirus, only to come and face insecurity problems

Many things you don't know, the battle against Ebola was fought and won in Lagos. FG of Jonathan didn't come in contact with Ebola. Kudos to Raji Fashola who quickly contacted the Prof of Virology in Lagos who thought them what to do.

Some mentally deranged people here shouting Nigeria is not prepared.
you are screened by a thermal imaging machine, which you may not notice. Coming back into Abuja, you are given a form to fill while still in the plane. The form collects your contact details, where you’ve been and your recent health status.

When you land, a health worker checks that you fully completed the form. If you didn’t, you are pulled aside and made to fill it. Once you pass the heath worker, there are signs asking whether you have been to China recently. Another health worker is watching the thermal images.

Another good one

At Immigration, all the Immigration, DSS and FAAN officials are all wearing face masks. There was nothing of such at Heathrow. At Dulles, an Immigration officer only asked me when last I visited China and took my finger prints. I was the one that asked for a hand sanitiser.

Can thermal whatever detect symptoms?
We are telling them to quarantine all travellers arriving from infected countries they are yarning nonsense.
Was that not why the Italian guy brought the virus here?

Only in Abuja airport? What about Muritala Airport in Lagos? Why didn't thermal scan detect the Italian? Nigerians are just like the entire Africans who haven't been affected. More efforts


U dey mind them?
Instead of them to quarantine all travellers arriving from infected countries they are talking thermal nonsense.
They think some people dont know that the fastest form of test is blood test(whether u have symptoms or not).

Is the air show off the only way to prepare? What facilities have we kept in place for special/random cases? Even the governors where talking rubbish that people shud isolate themselves at home and if their suspicions get high or confirm they shud go to the nearest hospital. So while getting to the hospital they are free to spread it not so? undecided

All those measures are not preventive.
They only try to detect.
Dont u know that u can have the virus but wont have a fever?
See, if u travel from china or italy to the US, u will be quarantined sharp sharp.
All those thermal stuff to me is just eye service.
A thousand people from China will also walk pass that machine asymptomatic (without symptoms)....and boom! U know the rest.

The purpose of the document is that should a passenger on that flight become I'll with coronavirus, they have a trail of information that can be used to contact all the passengers on that flight. Apart from collecting that pertinent information and checking body temperature, there's nothing else the govt can do as of this minute.
Yes they used the same methodology during the Ebola outbreak. I don't remember if we filled out forms back then but yes they did check for body temperature during the Ebola outbreak.

First, there are no flights from and to china from the US directly as of today. If you travel from china to say Vietnam and catch a flight to the US, you can easily enter the US as long as you don't acknowledge ever been in china.
So the same system is working at MMA, they ask on the form where are the places you have been recently. If China is one of them, then they will pull you to the side.
