Civil Defense makes statement

Riyadh, April 30, SPA -- The General Commission for Civil Defense
stated today that no flight coming from a swine-flu-inflicted country
was blocked to land in the Kingdom as the country is free of the
epidemic, confirming that necessary measures were taken at all Saudi
inlets to check suspects who might have contracted the disease.

In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, the President of GCCD
Abdullah bin Mohammed Noor Rahimi said no flight was diverted from
landing in the Kingdom as the WHO and ICAO's regulations don't advise
the closure of airports in such cases but instead emphasize the
enforcement of strict preventive measures in the air inlets.

He added that the Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques
King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has instructed all authorities
concerned to check and take the necessary measures for suspected
carriers of the disease.
