What is the Ministry of Health doing to ensure that the disease is not transmitted here?
The Ministry of Health maintains a comprehensive and well established disease surveillance system for the early detection of human cases of novel influenzas such as swine flu. In addition, all hospitals and health centres in Brunei Darussalam are on the vigilance for any suspected cases. When the situation is required, the Ministry will step up public health measures e.g. quarantine of contacts, issue public health advisories. Thermal scanning for all travelers with fever is continuing at the Brunei International Airport and the filling in of Health Declaration Forms by all travelers arriving at Brunei International Airport will recommence as of 27th April 2009.
