Guatemala: Aeropuerto La Aurora refuerza controles sanitarios por alerta de la OMS ante ébola
En el contexto de la alerta internacional declarada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) debido a la amenaza del ébola, el Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora (AILA) en Guatemala fortaleció sus acciones preventivas para enfrentar eventuales riesgos sanitarios. Así lo anunció este miércoles la Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil de Guatemala (DGAC).
Al mismo tiempo, la decisión se tomó tras una reunión de coordinación interinstitucional celebrada en la terminal aérea, en la que participaron representantes de los equipos operativos y administrativos del aeropuerto. El encuentro tuvo como objetivo analizar los procedimientos actuales y definir nuevas estrategias para responder de manera efectiva a la advertencia global emitida por la OMS.
Durante la reunión, los responsables de AILA revisaron los protocolos de actuación vigentes y acordaron ajustes tendientes a optimizar la detección temprana de posibles casos. Uno de los principales acuerdos establece que el personal encargado de los controles sanitarios profundizará la vigilancia utilizando las seis cámaras termográficas instaladas en las áreas de ingreso.
Los pasajeros que sean detectados con temperaturas superiores a los 37 °C (98,6 °F) serán sometidos a entrevistas y evaluaciones médicas detalladas para descartar cualquier riesgo de contagio.
Según lo informado por las autoridades, el refuerzo de estas acciones responde a la necesidad de garantizar la protección de los pasajeros, empleados y visitantes, así como la de mantener la operatividad de la terminal conforme a los estándares internacionales de bioseguridad. La coordinación entre distintas instituciones presentes en el aeropuerto se intensificará para asegurar la correcta aplicación de los procedimientos establecidos en materia de salud y seguridad, acorde con los lineamientos internacionales y las recomendaciones específicas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud.
El personal recibió instrucciones precisas sobre cómo actuar ante la detección de síntomas sospechosos. Las entrevistas a los pasajeros identificados con fiebre o malestar serán realizadas por equipos médicos debidamente capacitados, siguiendo un protocolo de aislamiento y evaluación clínica.
Además, el personal de AILA reforzará los controles de higiene en áreas comunes, incrementando la frecuencia de limpieza y desinfección de superficies de contacto frecuente, como pasamanos, mostradores, baños y salas de espera.
La OMS recomienda a las autoridades de fronteras y terminales aéreas adoptar medidas de control y vigilancia epidemiológica en respuesta a la alerta internacional. El Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora reiteró su compromiso de seguir las directrices internacionales y colaborar con los organismos nacionales, regionales y globales responsables del control sanitario. Las autoridades continuarán monitoreando la situación y evaluarán la necesidad de ajustar las acciones preventivas en función de la evolución de la alerta y las recomendaciones oficiales.
De igual manera, por tercer día consecutivo, representantes de la Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte de los Estados Unidos (TSA) continúan desarrollando recorridos y evaluaciones junto al equipo de Seguridad Aeroportuaria (AVSEC) del Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora.
Durante la jornada se realizaron verificaciones en el círculo aéreo y en punto de ingreso a rampa, donde también se sostuvo una reunión con personal de aerolíneas para la revisión de registros operacionales.

A young couple in Indonesia was publicly caned Thursday after allegedly kissing during a TikTok livestream.
The couple — a 22-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman — each received 21 lashes, according to the Associated Press (AP).
They were reportedly convicted of violating local morality laws under an Islamic sharia court in Indonesia’s conservative Aceh province.
The pair, who were detained in March, had already spent four months in prison prior to the punishment, which ultimately reduced their sentence from 25 lashes to 21, the AP said.

According to local authorities, the couple filmed a TikTok video inside a car one night in March.
As the video went viral, they were subsequently apprehended for what officials described as an «immoral act.»
«Their actions were uncovered thanks to reports from residents who were disturbed by their immoral livestream content,» Sharia police said in April.
«The trigger was their livestream on TikTok while engaging in immoral acts in the car,» Head of the Sharia Police Muhammad Rizal added in his statement. «This sparked criticism from netizens and local residents, who then reported them to the authorities.»

The court also confiscated a cellphone and a USB flash drive containing the TikTok video, which authorities promised to destroy, according to the AP.
A Banda Aceh resident who attended the caning, 22-year-old Aini Nadhirah, said she believed the punishment was «entirely justified.»
«In my opinion, this caning is entirely justified because it serves as a warning to other Aceh residents to be more careful when using social media,» Nadhirah said, according to the AP.
«It also raises awareness that such actions are unacceptable, thereby educating the public.»

Aceh is the only province in Muslim-majority Indonesia that enforces its own Islamic Criminal Code governing moral conduct.
The province’s right to implement Islamic law was granted by Indonesia’s secular central government around 2005 as part of a peace deal to end a separatist insurgency. The policy was later expanded to apply to non-Muslims as well.
Under the law, moral offenses — including adultery and same-sex relations — can carry penalties of up to 100 lashes. Caning is also used for individuals accused of gambling, drinking, adultery and premarital intimacy.

Public caning in Aceh has long drawn criticism from human rights groups, including Amnesty International Indonesia, which has called the practice cruel and degrading.
Despite Indonesia having ratified international conventions prohibiting cruel punishment, local authorities in Aceh defend the practice, arguing it does not fall under such definition.

Ex-Obama advisor mocked after questioning Chicago’s response to unconscious man: ‘Own a mirror?’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
David Axelrod, a Democratic political consultant and strategist, received backlash online for noting that emergency services in Chicago had declined to assist a seemingly homeless man outside the Art Institute of Chicago.
«An elderly man, probably homeless, was sprawled unconscious on the museum’s front stone steps in the midst of a heat emergency. I called 911, and the operator said, ‘Well, is he ASKING for help?’ When I said no, she said, ‘Well, I’m not going to send anyone.’ So the man remained, passed out in the blazing noon sun. I guess that’s how the City of Chicago deals with such situations,» Axelrod wrote.
«I hope we’re not all complicit in assisting an unintended suicide,» Axelrod, the chief strategist for Obama’s 2008 and 2012 presidential victories, said.

His comments sparked mockery online when observers highlighted similar encounters in a number of other Dem-run cities in the U.S.
«David Axelrod comes face to face with Democratic policies in action… turns out he doesn’t like them very much,» Abigail Jackson, a White House deputy press secretary, observed on X.
GOP Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s deputy chief counsel, Erielle Azerrad, said, «Anyone who lived in the Mission district of SF has like 20 stories like this.»
«It’s awful to hear. It’s also why most of us who have witnessed it are so vehemently opposed to socialist nonsense ruining our once awesome cities. Welcome to the party, dude,» she continued.
«Democrat policy which you dedicated your career to impose,» New York Post columnist Miranda Devine posted on X.
«Does David Axelrod own a mirror?» conservative strategist Steve Guest wondered.
Earlier this year, the city, led by Mayor Brandon Johnson, launched a five-year homelessness initiative with the goal of making homelessness «rare, brief and nonrecurring.» The plan centers on seven core strategies, including emergency services, housing, health, education, employment, community cohesion and systems alignment.

The plan does not come with a stated budget expectation but partners with several other city programs, such as a $1.2 billion housing initiative.
At least one other Democratic voice bashed Axelrod’s description and the city’s response.
«This is awful and unacceptable. In a case like this or a freezing/blizzard spell, the city must mobilize to render necessary aid, even if its refused,» Susana Mendoza, a candidate for Chicago mayor, said in her own post.
«Despite all the talk from this mayor and his administration about helping people like this in urgent need, they have abandoned them.»
Notably, Axelrod described how the man had spoken with security at the Art Institute but declined to move or accept assistance.
«I asked a museum security guard about it and she said she had woken him 3 times and suggested he move into the shade and he refused each time,» Axelrod wrote.

When asked about the situation, the Art Institute of Chicago confirmed to Fox News Digital that a man had been outside the building and added that he had departed.
«We are aware that a museum security officer checked on an individual on the front steps and that person left on their own accord shortly after,» the institute said in a statement.
