Ports and airports should expose informative materials on symptoms and MPOX prevention measures. Posters should be placed in the areas of international landing, while the emergence of public health of international importance for the disease lasts.
Similarly, airlines should issue a beep on measles aboard the aircraft, while the process of eliminating the disease in Brazil lasts. On international flights, the message with guidelines on the disease should also be announced in Spanish and English.
The measures were determined by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and are part of the new normative instruction of the agency, which deals with the temporary health actions to be adopted in ports, airports and by transportation operators, in the face of the epidemiological scenario.
In addition to both diseases, polio is also on the public health emergency list of international importance, but no health or informative material measure need to be adopted.
