China Demands Resumption of Air Travel

Chinese state media on Wednesday demanded foreign carriers resume air travel even though the coronavirus epidemic is still raging.

China’s state-run Global Times insisted the number of coronavirus cases is dropping everywhere except for Hubei Province, the center of the outbreak, which “clearly shows the top-level preventive measures adopted across the country have taken effect and this severe epidemic has been put under control.”

Claiming that travel within China is beginning to return to normal, the Global Times declared, “It is high time for countries which have imposed travel restrictions on their citizens to reconsider this measure.”
