Passengers From Singapore And Hong Kong Undergo Health Control

ISTANBUL - Passengers coming from Singapore and Hong Kong undergo health control against severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport.
Sources told A.A correspondent on Tuesday that health officials, wearing masks, control the planes coming from Hong Kong and Singapore.
The health experts are asking the flight attendants whether or not there were passengers aboard the plane suffering from diarrhea, dry cough, sneeze, and fever.
The plane is allowed to be evacuated after the flight attendants notify that there are not such passengers on the plane.
The officials said that in case such passengers were reported to be aboard the plane, they would undergo medical control and all passengers aboard the plane would be quarantined if necessary.
