These findings revealed that sentinel surveillance at airports detected 3.3% to 14% of dengue cases and 29.2% of imported COVID-19 cases in Taiwan, even though a high number of passengers were screened and the positive rate of symptomatic passengers was low. In addition to sentinel surveillance, other interventions at airports such as onboard quarantine announcements and home quarantine notices delivered to each passenger highlight the multidisciplinary measures at national gates required to effectively prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, especially during the containment stage of pandemic control.
