Több tízezren rekedtek a népszerű turistacélpontnak számító, Kínához tartozó Hainan-szigeten a kínai állami média szerint, miután a területen regisztrált koronavírus-fertőzöttek miatt vasárnap felfüggesztették a vasúti és légi közlekedést. Az ország déli partjainál található szigeten több száz fertőzést jelentettek, emiatt leállították a tömegközlekedést is.
Helyi hatóságok szerint körülbelül 80 ezer turistát érintenek a lezárások, közülük mintegy 30 ezren hotelekben rekedtek.
A közösségi médiára felkerült amatőr videófelvételeken az látható, hogy sok turista nem hajlandó elhagyni a repülőteret, és azt kiabálják, haza akarnak menni. A hatóságok válaszul hangosbemondókkal szólítják fel őket arra, hogy térjenek vissza a szállodákba.
Jóllehet a legtöbb országban lazítottak a járványügyi korlátozásokon, sok helyen pedig fel is oldották őket, Kína ragaszkodik zéró-Covid politikájához.
