What we found

Supports. Technology.org reports that people's temperature is already being taken on planes landing in Moscow from the affected Irkutsk region, though it cites an unverified social media claim.[1]

Supports. i24News reports 'disturbing reports' of temperature checks being conducted on those flying to Moscow from the Irkutsk area.[2]

Context. The Astrakhan temperature checks on arriving passengers are dated October 26, after the post, and are linked to seasonal flu and COVID rather than plague, so they do not bear on the October 5 claim.[4][5]

Context. Neighbouring countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Hong Kong, Macau) introduced temperature checks on arrivals from Russia; these are not Russian measures and do not bear on the claim.[3][6][7]
