Hong Kong will ban all passenger flights from Britain starting Thursday, labeling the country “extremely high risk” just as it loosens entry requirements for people traveling from most other parts of the world.

“From 0.00am on July 1 (Hong Kong time), all passenger flights from the U.K. will be prohibited from landing,” the government said in a statement Monday.
