(VOVworld) - Saudi Arabia has introduced an Ebola screening program as the country prepares to receive up to three million pilgrims taking part in the annual Haj. They come from all over the world, including Africa.

Medical staff checks all passengers arriving at Jeddah's international airport. Passengers will have to fill in a health questionnaire and receive medicine before they leave the airport. Head of Healthcare Center at Jeddah Airport, Abdulghani Al-Malki, said a rapid response plan is ready in case someone needs to get to the hospital. Saudi Arabia has forbidden pilgrims from Ebola virus ravaging countries of Sierra Lione, Liberia, and Guinea, to enter the countries.
