The M. Djamil Padang General Hospital (RSUP) will begin implementing visitor screenings on Thursday, amid the coronavirus scare.
Video footage from Wednesday (March 11) shows security checking the body temperature of visitors with an infrared thermometer before they enter the hospital building.
Hospital Director, Yusirwan Yusuf said: "We do this procedure because positive cases have been found in Indonesia which are quite significant."
Yusirwan added: "When officers find the visitor has a suspected body temperature above 37.5 centigrade, the hospital will take further action according to the Covid-19 SOP."
