China's aviation regulator has said that it will suspend an Air France flight from Paris to Shanghai for another two weeks from May 24 due to Covid-19 cases.

Eight passengers on the April 27 flight from Paris tested positive for the coronavirus after arriving in Shanghai, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said in a statement on its website.

The regulator announced last week it would suspend the flight for two weeks from May 10 due to Covid-19 infections.
