Airport Health Officer P C Mondal said while no case has been reported yet, the health unit of airport has activated a mechanism where any passenger from Africa will be subjected to health check-up on arrival.
The screening will not be done for in-bound passengers from other regions.
The move followed the Ministry of Health guidelines in the wake of the outbreak of the virus, especially in four west African countries with the World Health Organisation (WHO) declaring the epidemic an 'international emergency'.
