Cathay Dragon will be gone.. folded in HK Express.. and CX will be a shell of what it was... transferred into Air China..
Watch this space. Death for CX is imminent.

The rule that is supposed to take effect tomorrow (07FEB) states that foreigners (not including Hongkongers and Macanese) who only transited in HKG and MFM are not subject to entry restriction. Only those who entered Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macao in the past 14 days are barred from entry. However, there were just 2 confirmed cases confirmed in the past couple of hours where the patients only transited through HKG from Italy, so it is expected that a newer measure will be put in place soon to address that.

If it is during the transit we should see some cases around the airport too.
There isn’t yet, and we’re reporting even isolation cases too. Watch this space tho.

The news was released a couple of hours ago and was announced by the Minister of Health and Welfare of the ROC, so I would say it is very credible.

The official link is not clear on this, but there were 2 news reports (in Chinese) that clarified that transit pax are excluded, at least for now:

Central Australia - dry climate, cheap. Thats where quite a few 737 MAX aircraft are stored - if medium/long term storage required thats probably the best bet.
Prehaps some aircraft in central australia for more longer term storage, TPE and other closer locations for other aircraft if CX is confident some aircraft will need to be available at shorter notice
