Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights departing from the Republic have been barred from landing in Hong Kong for two weeks.
The move comes after a transit passenger who arrived in the territory on Wednesday (March 31) tested positive for Covid-19, while three other passengers on the flight were found to have breached rules for entry to Hong Kong.
On Friday (April 2), the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said the passenger with Covid-19 had tested negative pre-departure.
The three non-compliant passengers were also transit passengers. They had taken Covid-19 pre-departure tests at clinics in their places of origin that did not meet Hong Kong’s requirements.
SIA flights from S'pore barred from landing in HK from April 3 to 16 after detection of Covid-19 case
