In view of the increasing outbreak of Coronavirus in India, Hong Kong has banned all flights to and from India till May 3. Sources in the Civil Aviation Ministry said that Hong Kong has suspended air traffic with Pakistan and the Philippines for the same period. The Hong Kong government made this decision when 50 passengers arriving in Hong Kong on two flights of Vistara Airlines were found to be Corona positive.
According to the rules issued by Hong Kong, a Covid-19 negative report will have to be shown by RT-PCR check for all passengers up to a maximum of 72 hours before going there.
