The government on Wednesday decided to tighten measures to detect Ebola cases and formed a three-member committee to plug gaps at airports, a day after it quarantined an Ebola survivor for having traces of the deadly virus.
As concerns mounted, Health Minister J P Nadda said the situation was under "complete control" and there was no need to panic. Nadda, who on Tuesday chaired an inter-ministerial meeting to review the situation, said his ministry will constitute teams of experts to visit states and review preparedness at hospitals there designated for treating Ebola patients.
However, guidelines for screening incoming passengers at airports for the deadly virus, including checking their 21-day travel history, are not implemented, according to a review by the ministry.
