India’s aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has directed airlines to ensure that passengers travelling from or transiting through Ebola-stricken Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) mandatorily fill out self-declaration forms before deboarding, in a bid to prevent potential transmission of the disease.
The DGCA has also made it compulsory for airlines to broadcast specific health announcements during flights to help identify possible Ebola cases early and prevent the spread of the disease.
