ISLAMABAD: Airlines in Pakistan resumed flights to and from China on Monday (Feb 3) after health authorities said they were confident they had systems in place to keep the coronavirus epidemic out of the country.

The move comes as dozens of global airlines are halting flight services with China, and governments are increasingly barring entry to anyone who has recently visited the country.
