Workers streamed into railway stations and airports to head to smaller towns and rural homes for the lunar holiday, sparking fears of a broadening virus outbreak

Workers today streamed into railway stations and airports to head to smaller towns and rural homes, sparking fears of a broadening virus outbreak.

National Immigration Administration officials said that, on average, half a million people had been moved in or out of China per day since its borders opened on 8 January, state media reported. "I used to be a little worried ," said migrant worker Jiang Zhiguang, waiting among the crowds at Shanghai's Hongqiao Railway Station.

In more isolated areas, state medical workers are this week going door-to-door in some outlying villages to vaccinate the elderly, with the official Xinhua news agency describing the effort as the"last mile".
