[Tanzania strengthens entry health screening to prevent the import of Ebola virus] On October 17th, the Ministry of Health of Tanzania issued the latest travel health tips on the 17th local time, announcing the strengthening of border health prevention and control measures, requiring all incoming passengers to fill in a health monitoring declaration form and undergo health screening at airports, land ports and seaports to prevent the introduction of infectious diseases such as Ebola. According to the latest guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health of Tanzania, all incoming passengers must fill out a health monitoring declaration form through the Ministry of Health’s online platform, which can be completed before departure or after arriving in Tanzania. Passengers should fill in the relevant information truthfully and keep the QR code or declaration number generated by the system for verification by the health department upon entry. At the same time, Tanzania will strengthen health checks at all ports of entry, including temperature checks for passengers. For people suspected of being infected with Ebola or other infectious diseases, the health department will conduct further assessments in accordance with relevant national prevention and control procedures and take corresponding measures. For those identified as being at high risk of infection, the health department will implement mandatory health monitoring for 21 days and follow up through daily messages or other communication methods. The health department also requires travelers to pay close attention to their health conditions and promptly report to the nearest medical institution or border health department if they develop symptoms that may be related to Ebola or other infectious diseases. Recently, Tanzania's neighboring country Kenya confirmed three imported cases of Ebola virus, including one death. Tanzania's strengthening of entry health screening this time aims to strengthen disease surveillance and early detection capabilities and reduce the risk of cross-border spread of infectious diseases such as Ebola.
