The TR138 Singapore-Tianjin route has been suspended as it triggered the"circuit breaker" by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, Bloomberg reported this week, citing a person familiar with the matter. This"circuit breaker" takes effect for routes that have passengers on board who test positive - the suspension lasts a week if five people test positive, but extends to at least one month if 10 or more infections are found.
Singapore's discharge criteria are more stringent than the World Health Organization's guidelines, the ministry added. Starting Aug 28, those travelling from Singapore to China will be required to take a Covid-19 test within five days before their flight, according to details of requirements announced by the Chinese Embassy last week.
In an updated statement late Tuesday night, the carrier said the erroneous e-mail was sent due to human error, and was not a data security or hacking incident.
