Koltsovo international airport (part of the Airports of Regions holding) is taking measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Two thermovision cameras (infrared scanners) for the thermometry of passengers, guests and air hub employees are additionally installed in Koltsovo passenger terminal. This equipment allows the detection of people with elevated body temperature.
Thermovision cameras function at the entrance to the terminal of domestic airlines (Terminal A) as well as at the entrance to the airport from Angelo Hotel. If the body temperature deviation from the normal level is detected, an airport visitor is proposed to consult a doctor at a health post. We should remind that infrared scanners are also used in the terminal of international airlines to check travelers arriving from abroad. If ARVI symptoms are detected such an employee is suspended from work and sent for treatment at the domicile.
The frequency of cleaning the premises and contact surfaces with disinfectants has been increased in Koltsovo. Every hour check-in and information counters along with public spaces, contact equipment in preflight inspection zones and gates are treated with chlorine-containing agents. The buses and transport used to cater to airliners are also disinfected.
All airport employees as well as the personnel of companies operating in the airport’s premises also pass mandatory thermometry prior to their shifts. The awareness of passengers to coronavirus infection prevention is raised using video and sound equipment.
