Thermal screenings have been reinstated at airports in Indonesia and other Asian countries following confirmation of Nipah virus cases in eastern India. Two cases were reported in West Bengal in late December, prompting the quarantine of nearly 200 people. The World Health Organisation warns the virus, transmitted from infected animals to humans, has a fatality rate of 40 to 75 per cent with no cure or vaccine currently available. Experts caution that airport screenings may prove ineffective due to the virus's incubation period, which can extend up to 45 days, making detection at borders challenging.
