Indonesia runs three-day airport bird flu drill

JAKARTA -- Indonesian authorities on Sunday wrapped up a major three-day bird flu drill on the resort island of Bali with an exercise focused on passengers at the island’s international airport. In the simulation, departing passengers were made to pass a scanner that detects body temperature. Among the travellers were three undercover personnel who simulated having high fever but insisted on leaving on their flights.

Staff steered them to a clinic at the airport and when test results showed they might have bird flu infections, the three were sent to the main hospital in Denpasar.
