Hi, Readers!

Airborne Ebola... coming to a flight near you.

via Mumbai Mirror

Seven flights carrying over 1,250 passengers - including 112 Indian expatriates - from Ebola-hit West African countries were to start landing in Mumbai starting 12.05 am on Tuesday. 

All 1250-odd passengers on these seven flights will be examined by doctors at the step ladder as they disembark.  

Passengers without any symptoms will be cleared and shifted to T2 in coaches for immigration and customs clearance. "Disinfection of the flights will be carried out once all passengers have de-planed," said the airport official. "Passengers for the next leg will be allowed to board these flights only after 30 minutes of the disinfection."
