Yesterday, at Al Khums Port, medics screened the crew members of a ship coming from Spain and transited through Djibouti to Libya.

Health officials clarified that the medical checkups came as a precautionary measure in anticipation of coronavirus infection.

The director of the Port’s Health Control Office at the National Center for Disease Control confirmed that the results of the examinations showed no symptoms of respiratory diseases among the crew.

He also pointed out that this procedure is a part of other measures to step up defences against the spread of coronavirus in the country, including the installation of thermal scanning devices in all sea, air and land ports.
