Hundreds of flights cancelled as Shanghai tackles COVID-19 outbreak

     

    1. 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 struggling with a number of domestic outbreaks in different cities.
    2. The outbreak has sparked plans to give high-risk workers at the travel hub an experimental vaccine that China has already been providing to state employees, international students and essential workers heading abroad since July.
    3. Shanghai reported seven local airport-related infections this month, most of which have occurred in the past few days. One new cases was reported on Tuesday (Nov 24).
    4. As for that, hundreds of flights at one of China’s busiest airports were cancelled as Shanghai raced to bring a local coronavirus outbreak under control.
    5. Health officials have tested thousands of staff members at Pudong International Airport since a small number of COVID-19 cases in the city were linked to a number of cargo handlers.
