All flights from Wuhan to Moscow have been cancelled over the coronavirus outbreak in China, the Wuhan Tianhe International Airport said.
"Yes, all flights have been cancelled, it is impossible to leave," Sputnik cited the airport's service desk as saying.
When asked whether the ban concerned only direct flights, the airport representative stressed that "all flights were cancelled."
The virus, which was first detected in Wuhan in late December, has already killed 26 people and infected more than 880 others in China. Confirmed cases of the coronavirus have also been recorded in the United States, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, and Thailand.
