Where are the goggles?

But some adventurous guy went to Italy and ba CK passing through them like a breeze, now a whole school is shut down...

I hope they remember to disinfect their cellphones after removing their gloves, otherwise the problem will no longer be at the airport only😬

africaupdates What of eye protection goggles? Is that NOT pertinent? Airport staff/official/s of any land/sea/air - PORT is {probably} in 'imminent' exposure? Hence, like medics' - {or close to} - don't you think they ought to be {absolutely} protected - {best as can be?}🤔

The other guy is not wearing gloves

They couldn't send one or two people to inspect, why the whole committee as if they have to form a quorum? No worry for them about the distressed economy and cutting expenses.

It doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence when these committee members are wearing masks that are sub P2 / N95 grade. (Thus ineffective againts any airborne virus) Would have been more impressive if they wore nothing at all.
