India Preps 13 International Airport Quarantine Centers

According to local media reports, India is establishing 13 new quarantine centers at major international airports to isolate travelers with infectious disease symptoms that could potentially trigger an outbreak.

On January 1, 2024, SeaandJob reported, "The program focuses on strengthening health system capacities at all levels—primary, secondary, and tertiary—and enhancing preparedness for effectively managing current and future pandemics or health emergencies."

In the United States, international airports have become essential screening centers for disease risks.

For example, in October 2024, the U.S. Government initiated health screening for air travelers arriving from the Republic of Rwanda during its recent Marbug disease outbreak.

In 2025, the U.S. CDC will continue publishing Travel Health Advisories Assessments, including guidance for cruise ships. This will enable international travelers to confirm travel vaccine recommendations by country.

Additionally. the Transportation Security Administration is prepared to screen holiday travelers during the end-of-year travel period. The TSA adjusts processes and procedures to meet the evolving threat and achieve the highest transportation security levels. Because of this, you may notice changes in our procedures occasionally.
