Suvarnabhumi virus screening limited
Officials at Suvarnabhumi Airport say they are awaiting more information from Chinese authorities before deciding whether to expand screening of passengers arriving from China to try to detect the new coronavirus that is causing worldwide concern.
China, meanwhile, announced late Saturday that all group tours from the country would be halted starting from Monday in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus.
President Xi Jinping warned that the country was facing a “grave situation” given the “accelerating spread” of the virus.
