The following measures were also implemented at Vienna International Airport:

Passengers who currently land in Vienna directly from Beijing are screened in China prior to departure, and the authorities also check whether they have recently been in the crisis region around Wuhan.

If suspicious symptoms are registered in a passenger on board a landing aircraft, the ground staff is informed. The medical staff at Vienna International Airport checks these passengers for any suspected virus.

With immediate effect, travellers arriving by plane directly from China to Austria will be checked with a temperature scanner to detect any illness that may have occurred during the flight from Beijing to Vienna.

In addition, additional multilingual information material (posters, flyers) is available for travellers, which provides information about the coronavirus and rules of conduct.
