The transport hub is disinfecting key public areas such as toilets, elevators and terminals at least five times a day and has opened the exhaust system throughout the day for ventilation. According to healthcare authorities, the airport has also strengthened the disinfection of the freight area and the disinfection and disposal of discarded masks.

The stations have also optimized passenger entry and exit routes and increased disinfection frequency to cut off the pandemic's spread.
