China caps passenger capacity of flights from high-risk areas

BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): China will limit the passenger capacity of international flights to or from places deemed to be at high risk of Covid-19 transmission to no more than 75 per cent in an effort to contain imported coronavirus cases, according to the country's civil aviation regulator.

The pandemic situation is still severe and complex globally. With the surge of international passenger flights, the number of imported cases by air has been on the upswing, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said on Tuesday (Sept 1).
