Zimbabwe has installed infrared thermo cameras at the country’s three main airports Harare international, Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International and Victoria Falls International Airport as ways of detecting people with Ebola.
Health Minister David Parirenyatwa toured Harare International airport on Monday.
As part of the measures, all travellers from abroad are screened as they arrive at the airports or at other ports of entry.
Since the screening started 718 foreign nationals have been placed under surveillance since the screening commenced two months ago.
Out of these 434 were Nigerians, 124 Congolese, 46 Sierra Leoneans, 37 Liberians, six Senegalese and four Guineans.
According to Dr Parirenyatwa none of these individuals have Ebola virus.
