Shanghai airport is plunged into chaos after a 'worker tested positive for Covid-19 prompting Hazmat-clad staff to herd THOUSANDS of people into basement for testing before they make bid for freedom'Daily Mail/UK, Nov 22, 2020
An airport in China was plunged into chaos today after a worker tested positive for Covid-19 prompting officials to order airport-wide testing, witnesses claim.
Hazmat suit-clad staff were filmed herding a huge crowd into a basement area inside Shanghai Pudong International Airport in the country's financial hub.
But, amid fears of mandatory 14-day quarantine, the group staged a mass bid for freedom.
Other clips showed a surge of people trying to escape via a ramp as heavily-outnumbered workers attempted to hold them back.
Some reports suggest the airport was testing only staff members, while others claimed everyone - including passengers - were subject to the new rules.
On Friday, Shanghai confirmed a married couple had contracted Covid-19 in the city's Pudong district - its first locally transmitted COVID-19 infections in 11 days.
