Circuit breaker tightened 

国际航班熔断措施调整 

China's circuit breaker arrangement for international passenger flights was tightened on Wednesday to contain the spread of COVID-19. 

为做好新冠肺炎疫情防控工作，我国12月16日起收紧对国际客运航班的熔断措施。 

According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, starting on Wednesday, if there are five passengers on a flight who test positive, the airline's flights will be suspended for two weeks. 

民航局宣布，自即日起，航空公司同一航线航班，入境后核酸检测结果为阳性的旅客人数达到5个的，暂停该公司该航线运行2周。

The earlier regulation - introduced in June - suspended the airline's flights for one week if five passengers on a flight tested positive. 

根据此前6月份发布的航班熔断规则，以上这种情况暂停该公司该航线运行1周。

 The suspension will last for four weeks if 10 passengers test positive, which remains the same as the earlier regulation. 

航空公司同一航线航班，入境后核酸检测结果为阳性的旅客人数达到10个的，暂停该公司该航线运行4周，这点和此前的规定相比没有变化。
