Comment on Mandatory health screenings proposed for Eastern Iowa Airport

Eastern Iowa Airport proposed mandatory preflight medical screenings for all passengers Thursday morning in an effort to avoid any spread of coronavirus at the airport.If it’s approved at the July 27 commission meeting, airport director Marty Lenss said he aims to have the plan “fully operational” by early September, with possible phases implemented earlier.“If you’re truly sick, we don’t want to expose any passengers unnecessarily,” Lenss told The Gazette.
