KUWAIT CITY, June 13, (KUNA): The thermal infrared cameras that have been introduced to Kuwait International Airport recently have been distributed in a way to cover all arrivals, a senior medical official said on Saturday. “The cameras will help detect any infection case with H1N1 virus among the passengers arriving in the country including the transit travelers,” Director of Public Health Department of the Health Ministry Dr Rashed Al-Owaish said in statements to KUNA. “The move by the state of Kuwait takes place after the World Health Organization (WHO) upgraded the pandemic level to the sixth degree,” he noted. “Six thermal infrared cameras have been fixed at the terminals of the airport and are working around the clock under strict supervision of specialized medical teams,” Al-Owaish affirmed.
The highly sophisticated imaging system is able to survey up to 150 passengers every five minutes. “It can produce timely data on any passenger whose temperature is above the normal level of 37.5º Celsius,” he said, noting that the symptoms of the Influenza A subtype H1N1are similar to those of the common influenza. Under the newly-adopted medical regulations provide any passenger arriving in the country should fill two copies of a form, keep one for themselves and give the other to the medical authorities at the airport. The form includes data on the passengers such as their phone numbers to help the authorities call them in if need be. When the authorities suspect that a passenger is inflected with the fatal virus they summon them and refer them to a specialized hospital, he explained. Meanwhile, Al-Owaish reaffirmed that the state of Kuwait is free of the pandemic known also as swine flu to date. The Ministry of Health has tightened the preventive measures against the highly contagious disease since its early outbreak in Mexico in tune with the WHO guidelines, he added. |

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani early Monday morning announced reinstatement of the deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry and other judges.
“I restore the deposed chief justice and others according to the promise made by me and the President,” Gilani said in a televised address to the nation.
The announcement, in light of the directive of President Asif Ali Zardari, met the main demand of the political parties and the lawyers’ community.
He said, “A notification to this effect is being issued now.” He said Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry would replace Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar, who retires on March 21.
Gilani said and pledged to “continue the politics of reconciliation.” The deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry was removed from service by former President Pervez Musharraf on March 9, 2007, sparking a wave of protest that led to his resignation from his office on August 18, 2008.
The prime minister also announced reinstatement of other judges of the Supreme Court and said the number of judges for the apex court has already been increased through legislation to accommodate the reinstated judges.
The prime minister also announced that the federal government would file a review petition in the Supreme Court seeking reversal of the order of disqualification of Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif, and addressing all issues in light of the Charter of Democracy.
“I invite them to move forward along with all political forces for the implementation of the Charter of Democracy,” Gilani said.
He asked the provincial governments to lift the Section 144 immediately and release the arrested persons. He said the PPP had made a lot of contribution to the lawyers’ movement and rendered numerous sacrifices. He said shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto had pledged to reinstate the deposed Chief Justice.
Gilani said President Asif Ali Zardari also pledged to do the same.
Gilani recalled that soon after securing a heavy mandate from the parliament he had announced the release of the detained judges and also restoration of their emoluments.
The prime minister said the decision was taken in consultation with the allies.
Gilani also greeted Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, lawyers, political workers, and civil society on this auspicious occasion and asked them to celebrate the occasion in a befitting manner. |
