This included checking the temperature of the passengers, filling out questionnaires about the health of the passengers, and analyzing them.

Health officials are closely monitoring the situation and will take samples and test if symptoms are suspected. He said that if there were any symptoms of monkeypox, they should contact the health center so that they could be treated quickly.
