Panaji, Aug 11 - All buses from Pune will be screened for possible swine flu infected passengers at two border checkposts in Goa from Wednesday, a top official said.
The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Sanjiv Srivastava at the state secretariat Tuesday evening.
'Goa receives some 7,000 inter-state buses everyday. The traffic from Pune is around 50 buses. Our health department teams stationed at the Patradevi and Mollem checkposts will be focusing on passengers coming into Goa from Pune using public transport,' Srivastava told reporters.
Srivastava said while the screening would be limited to incoming public traffic from Pune initially, the idea was to cover all inbound vehicles coming into Goa in the near future.
