SINGAPORE - Local budget carrier Scoot will suspend all flights between Singapore and mainland China from Feb 8, amid the growing severity of the Wuhan virus outbreak.
Measures that the authorities announced to limit the spread of the Wuhan virus include the barring of all travellers arriving from mainland China who had been there in the past 14 days from entry or transit in Singapore.It said that before Feb 8, some flights to China, such as those to Guangzhou and Qingdao, will be operating on reduced frequencies before the suspension kicks in till late March.
The operator added:"Scoot will continue to closely monitor the coronavirus situation as the health and safety of our passengers and employees are our highest priority. Scoot is a member of the Singapore Airlines Group, which also includes Singapore Airlines and SilkAir.
Explain me how can it be possible if Singapore banned all travelers having visited Mainland China within last 14 days?
Why must wait till Feb 8? Auspicious date or fengshui master say? 😬. Should suspend tomorrow onwards 23:59 hrs. The crews will be at risks, physically and mentally tired till Feb 7. Stay safe, crews😬🙏
