Coronavirus: Govt yet to decide on barring all flights from China, says Loke


SEREMBAN: The Government has not decided if it will ban all flights from China and has only imposed a temporary ban on Chinese citizens from Wuhan and the surrounding Hubei province following the coronavirus outbreak, says Anthony Loke.

The Transport Minister said although the World Health Organisation (WHO) had declared the outbreak as a global emergency late Thursday (Jan 30), the Government could not ban all flights from China yet as this could lead to other implications.
