Not completely closed.
G0108/20 NOTAMN

A) ZHHH B) 2001231100 C) 2002021559 EST
E) AD NOT AVBL FOR ALTN EXCEPT EMERGENCY FLIGHT.
Lots of "emergency flights".
This afternoon : An ANA 76 from Haneda, a Wamos 74 from Hanoi.
Currently : a CZ 788 from FCO, a KE 74 to ICN.
France said they will send an aircraft to repatriate nationals. Should land in "Bouches-du-Rhone" so I guess could be BA125 at Istres.

I often perceive a degree of aggressiveness in most of your posts lately, not specifically towards me but in general.
May I suggest that you reconsider your mode of expression in the future?
Thank you.

Re: Airlines suspending or readjusting China routes due to Coronavirus
Pakistan too suspended all flights to China on directive of concerned authority, services between the two are operated by PIA, Air China and China Southern, FR24 data shows China's YTO Cargo Airlines has also been affected by this.
Israel also barrs flights from China affecting El Al, Hainan and Sichuan Airlines, but Hong Kong services continue.
