Singapore has reinstalled temperature checks at Changi Airport for passengers arriving from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong following the new SARS cases found in China.
The passengers will also be given health alert notices to advise them on precautionary measures and good personal hygiene practices during their stay in Singapore.
Doctors and health care institutions have also been alerted to look out for patients with SARS-like symptoms who have recently travelled to China, especially Beijing and Anhui, where two confirmed SARS cases have been reported within the last two weeks.
Meanwhile, as a preventive measure against SARS, Thailand on Monday also began checking temperatures of passengers arriving from Beijing at Bangkok's international airport.
Last year's SARS crisis killed 33 people in Singapore.
