Last updated: 2020-03-18 04:24The coronavirus disease (COVID-19, commonly known as Wuhan pneumonia) epidemic in 2019 has continued. About 80 people from 4 Hong Kong tour groups in Morocco in North African countries have been stranded in the area due to the closure of airspace by the authorities. They have sought the assistance of the SAR government through the Tourism Industry Council.
The Director General of the Tourism Council Chen Zhangleyi said that he had asked the Tourism Commission and the Security Bureau for help. It was temporarily unclear whether the government would send a special plane to pick up the stranded groupmates. The Immigration Department had asked travel agencies to provide personal information of stranded passengers.
Jinyi Holidays has a 20-member tour group stranded there. Chen Xiaonan, director of travel agency operations, said that although Morocco reopened its airspace on Wednesday (18th), it was only open until Thursday (19th) to allow countries to evacuate overseas. Returning to Hong Kong on Friday (20th), the original flight has been cancelled.
