I am a frequent traveler and I last came back from India with fever, sore throat and heavy nose. After seeing my medical declaration at the airport I was sent to the airport health office. Since I didn’t have fever at the time, I was sent for home-quarantine. No physical meetings, no visitors, no travel for two weeks.
Today, the local PHI made a surprise visit as a follow up to this, checked my current medical status and any current symptoms, asked of my future travel plans and clarified all information I had declared.
I’m quite impressed. Didn’t quite expect a follow up visit; I’m glad they’re paying attention to passengers. There’s a lot that can be improved at the airport but I have been to six airports in the last two months and only Bandaranaike International Airport had any kind of health check or screening.
It’s very easy for people to feel ‘entitled’ like what we’re seeing now with the Sri Lankans returning from Italy, demanding royal treatment when other countries have banned entry even to their own citizens.
As much as we criticize I feel we need to give credit where credit is due.
