Wouldn't be effective enough. Too long of an incubation period without symptoms. Potential transmission on the plane might be reduced, but what would actually be needed is a quarantine.

Last year when I went to Hong Kong for business there was a "thermal station" where you had to have your temperature scanned, can't remember whether it was coming or going though.
