Hundreds of flights at one of China's busiest airports were canceled on Tuesday, November 24, as Shanghai raced to bring a local coronavirus outbreak under control.
China – where the virus first emerged late last year – has largely brought the pandemic under control through travel restrictions and lockdowns, but it is now battling a number of domestic outbreaks in different cities. The outbreak has sparked plans to give high-risk workers at the travel hub an experimental vaccine China has already been providing to state employees, international students, and essential workers heading abroad since July.
Videos shared Sunday night, November 22, on social media appeared to show a large crowd at the airport trying to push their way into a multi-storey car park where the testing was taking place and being held back by a row of people wearing full hazmat suits.
