Coronavirus: Hong Kong could ease flight bans and class suspensions next week, city leader says


Hong Kong could be easing up on flight bans, class suspensions and quarantine periods for travellers a month earlier than planned, with the city’s leader conceding that the public’s tolerance for harsh anti-epidemic measures was “fading”.

Many of the measures up for review were supposed to last until April 20, with adjustments now expected to be announced as early as Sunday.
