To identify one of the main symptoms of Ebola (high temperature) international airport buildings use non-contact thermometry of arriving passengers with the help of thermal imagers and pyrometers. From the beginning of the year, checkpoints across the state border examined more than 1.7 million persons (passengers, crew and flight attendants). Recall that the World Health Organization reports about new cases of Ebola in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and the Congo. Currently it is registered almost 4 thousand Ebola cases, including more than 2 thousand with fatal consequences. The outbreak started in March 2014 and is the most serious epidemic of Ebola since the discovery of the virus in 1976.
