Have a look at border-crossing procedures over coronavirus

Sanitary inspection has been carrying out health surveillance over travelers coming from China, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Iran and other coronavirus-affected areas and territories as of 26 January, due to the new virus called Covid-19, the govt stated.

As they said, the inspection is conducting surveillance on all border crossings over passengers coming from China, Italy and other coronavirus-affected areas in line with the status of epidemiology.

Questions for passengers:

1. Did you visit China, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Singapore or Iran over the past 14 days?
2. Did you have close contact with a person having a confirmed case of COVID-19 over the past 14 days?
3. Were you in a health care institution/hospital taking care of persons infected with coronavirus over the past 14 days?
4. Did you visit any live animal market abroad over the past 14 days?

If the answer to any of these questions is YES, or if it turns out that a passenger might be infected with the coronavirus, border police is obliged to inform sanitary inspectors about that so that a passenger is put under surveillance.

Questions might be different as the status of epidemiology is changing.
