So I’m not going until mid-April, and I’m hoping this has settled out by then. Having said that.... Flying YVR to HKT with a layover in PEK. What are the risks? Odds of acquiring the virus are extraordinarily low. I am far more concerned about catching influenza in a shopping mall in Calgary. I think most of us know influenza puts you at far greater risk....
I’m thinking more in terms of what will the Thai Government do? Will I be allowed to enter after transiting PEK? What about on the way home? Same thing. Will the Canadian Government want to quarantine me?

That's 8 weeks away. 8 weeks ago, no-one knew what was causing this disease and outside of Wuhan, noone even knew about it....
Risks of getting the virus today is low, perhaps Canada will be a hotbed by then, who knows. Suggest revisiting plans end of March.

As of today, what is Singapore and Malaysia's policy for transiting through PVG for US passport holders? FYI, I haven't been to the Mainland since December 2019 with my last visit to Asia being in Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago.

While not as official as the government link above, the Singapore Airlines website has a slightly more readable summary of the current travel restrictions: https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/s...t/?id=is5rire4
It includes this entry which makes the situation on transiting in China clear:

This will include travellers who transit in mainland China to Singapore regardless of the duration and whether they had cleared immigration in China.

For Singapore you will be denied entry or transit.

Apart from professional photographers (who might never live to see China with so little pollution) and those who have extremely compelling reasons, I advise all of you to avoid visiting until the dust settles

I thought Cambodia had no restrictions at all on travel from mainland China? I know several people who’ve gone there for their 14 day period outside mainland China before going somewhere else.
