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.

That's pretty wild. Perhaps the Chinese people are not as compliant as it seems.
