# The spread of the Li Bai virus has attracted attention, with Singapore Airlines and SATS stock prices falling on Thursday | Lianhe Zaobao

As our country's airports decide to strengthen passenger temperature screening due to the spread of the Nipah virus, the two major airline stocks, Singapore Airlines and SATS, are both facing declines.

As of Thursday (January 29) at 12:30 PM, SATS fell by 0.52%; Singapore Airlines dropped by 0.47%.

In light of the concerns regarding the Nipah virus, Changi Airport has decided to conduct temperature screening for travelers arriving locally from affected areas.

According to a statement from the Infectious Disease Management Bureau on Wednesday (28th), the spread of the Nipah virus mainly originates from contact with bats or consuming food contaminated by bats. Since 2011, our country has been conducting biological monitoring of local bat populations and has not detected this virus to date.

Patients initially present symptoms including high fever, headache, muscle pain, vomiting, and sore throat. Subsequently, symptoms may include dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and neurological signs indicating acute encephalitis. Currently, there is no specific medication or vaccine for the Nipah virus
