Travel risks do not apply for transit through an airport during which the traveller has not left the airport. When the donor's visit to a country has consisted only of an airport stopover there is no need to refer to the Geographical Disease Risk Index.
Travel risks apply to time in port or if anchored offshore and should be assessed as time on land.
Travel risks apply if the donor has travelled through a malaria area e.g. by car or train.
