JAKARTA - The rapid spread of the Wuhan corona virus needs to be taken very seriously by the government. The various gateways to the republic are on standby to watch the arriving humans. One of them is at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten.

VOI's editorial team, Monday, January 27, got the opportunity to take a closer look at the airport, the seriousness of the management in preventing the entry of a virus that has claimed dozens of lives from all over the world. The airport relies on a Health Alert Card (HAC) for passengers arriving from China and Hong Kong 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.

Check out the activities that took place at Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport through the snapshot of VOI photographer, Irfan Meidianto. It just so happened that at that time a flight from China had just arrived.
