Hong Kong has suspended all flights connecting to India from April 20 to May 3 amid a surge of Covid-19 cases in India.

The Hong Kong government has also suspended flights to, and from, Pakistan and the Philippines for the same period, reports our New Delhi correspondent quoting Indian aviation industry sources.

The decision comes after 50 passengers of two flights of Indian airline Vistara were found positive for Covid-19 when tested upon arrival in Hong Kong this month.
