Hong Kong/UNI: Hong Kong on Wednesday announced new guidelines which includes banning travellers from eight countries to board inbound flights from January 8.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said flights have been banned from Australia, Britain, the United States, Canada, Pakistan, Philippines, France and India for two weeks.
"Passenger flights from these countries will not be allowed to land in Hong Kong and individuals who have stayed in those countries are not allowed to board flights to Hong Kong, including transit flights," ABC News quoted Lam as saying.
She further said the government will be imposing a ban on indoor dining after 6 pm from Jan. 7 and close swimming pools, sports centres, bars, clubs, museums, and other venues for at least two weeks.
"We're yet to see a fifth wave yet, but we're on the verge," she added.

Air India, the Tata Group-owned airline major, has announced the launch of Cloud Chasers, a comprehensive new programme aimed at enhancing the travel experience for families and young flyers.
Fuel shortages linked to rising tensions in the Middle East could force German airports to scale back operations, cancel flights and raise fares, the Association of German Airports (ADV) has warned.
Lufthansa has introduced a new stopover programme that gives passengers travelling on selected routes from Singapore and the United States the option to extend their layover in Munich into a city stay of up to seven days.
