Russia fully suspended all international flights on March 27 as more than 1,000 cases of the CCP virus were confirmed throughout the nation.

The suspension does not apply to cargo, postal, sanitary, and humanitarian shipments, according to a spokesperson for the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency cited by TASS. Airlines will only perform flights to bring Russians back home.
