They are being seen to do something....BUT this is to stop MERS/nCoV/SARS-like/bat-flu from coming INTO the kingdom, when it is already there.
I would not be sure that they have contained the outbreak as they have claimed. To me it is a bit like bolting the stable door after the beautiful Arabian stallion has bolted. Possibly this move is a political one to show that MERS/nCoV/SARS-like/bat-flu is endemic in other countries in the region, and not just in Saudi Arabia. |

I agree - that doesn't make sense. They should be screening as they're leaving Saudi, not entering.
