Coronavirus: Senate express fears as chattered flight passengers are not screened at airports
The Senate has expressed concerns over the non-screening of chattered flight passengers wing of the local flight arrivals at Nigerian airports.
The senators expressed fears that it may be a loose end to import the Coronavirus.
Chairman Senate Committee on Health, Ibrahim Oloriegbe, said the absence of health services at the private terminal could make for easy movement of infected bodies into the country.
The Senate, therefore, ordered the Minister to deploy health officials to the private tarmac and conduct screening of VIPs on chartered flight stressing Coronavirus was both a national and global health emergency.
