Prevent Corona Virus With Cards

JAKARTA - Soekarno Hatta Airport provides a Health Alert Card (HAC) to passengers arriving from China and Hong Kong. This step was taken to prevent the spread of the corona virus from entering Indonesia.

The HAC will later become data for the airport to monitor passenger movements. The data contains the date of arrival for later medical quarantine if the passenger shows symptoms of illness for a certain period of time.

HAC is given by airline officers to passengers from the time they are on the plane and before landing. Apart from HAC, the airport also uses two thermal scanners at Terminal 2F and four other units at Terminal 3 to monitor passenger body temperatures.
