Global News
Hong Kong is barring Air Canada flights from Vancouver until Oct. 29 amid COVID-19 concerns.
The Hong Kong Department of Health has put a two-week ban on direct flights from Vancouver to Hong Kong operated by Air Canada.
Officials in Hong Kong took the action Friday after detecting nearly 60 imported cases over a two-week period.
One of those cases was on an Oct. 13 Air Canada flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong, officials said in a media release.
One passenger on the flight also “failed to comply with the requirements specified under the Prevention and Control of Disease Regulation,” it said.
As a result, Hong Kong is prohibiting the landing of Air Canada passenger flights from Vancouver until Oct. 29, it said.
