Macao is to halt all passenger flights from all foreign countries from Sunday until 23 January in a radical move to shut out any more Covid-19 cases.
The 15-day ban will take effect from 9 January, the Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre announced.
“The Health Bureau will bar civil aircraft transporting passengers from flying to Macao from any regions outside China,” the centre said.
Currently, Macao’s airport is running regular passenger flights with cities in the mainland and a regular passenger flight with only one foreign country – Singapore.
