New Delhi: Hong Kong has banned Air India flights till the end of August after some passengers on one of its flights tested positive for COVID-19 post arrival, a senior government official said on Wednesday.
Passengers from India can arrive in Hong Kong only if they have a COVID-19 negative certificate from a test done 72 hours prior to the journey, according to rules issued by the Hong Kong government in July.
Moreover, all international passengers are required to take a post-flight COVID-19 test at the airport premises in Hong Kong.
“Some passengers who landed in Hong Kong on one of Air India flights recently tested COVID-positive post arrival,” the government official said.
