The Polish airline also announced it was suspending flights between the Hungarian capital Budapest and Seoul in South Korea until April 8.

LOT originally suspended flights to Beijing until February 9, then prolonged the suspension.

Poland’s health minister announced on Wednesday that the first case of coronavirus infection has been confirmed in this country.

The Covid-19 virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has killed around 3,300 people and infected more than 95,000 around the world.
