Objectives: This study aimed to validate the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, identify infection risk factors among air passengers subject to a 14-day mandatory quarantine, and evaluate the accuracy of mass symptom-based screening criteria at an airport.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 116,004 air passengers who entered Thailand through Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok from April to September 2020. The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, risk characteristics, and accuracy indices of symptom-based screening were calculated.
