SINGAPORE — Despite the outbreak of a new coronavirus from Wuhan – with some 440 cases reported in China as of Wednesday (22 January) – local airline Scoot has not cancelled any of its flights to China.
In a statement to Yahoo News Singapore, the low-cost carrier – which has daily trips to Wuhan – added that the health advisory measures that it has implemented since the start of the month for passengers arriving from the city have been expanded to include all China flights from Wednesday.
Scoot’s announcement comes on the back of the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) direction to expand temperature screening to all inbound flights from China from Wednesday.
“Scoot has been closely monitoring the situation in Wuhan, as the health and safety of our passengers and employees are our highest priority,” the statement said.
