When Yang Jing was planning this year\u0027s summer holiday in 2021, she chose island of Hainan because of its nigh\u002Dperfect COVID track record.
The island in the South China Sea recorded just two positive symptomatic COVID-19 cases in the whole of last year. Fast forward to this month, however, and the number of cases has suddenly soared, prompting a lockdown in the city of Sanya and leaving tens of thousands of tourists like Yang stuck on the island.
“This is the worst holiday of my life,” Yang, who is in her 40s and lives in Jiangxi province in southern China, told Reuters on Sunday.tap here to see other videos from our teamSanya reported 689 symptomatic and 282 asymptomatic cases between Aug. 1 and Aug. 7. Other cities around Hainan province, including Danzhou, Dongfang, Lingshui, and Lingao, have all reported over a dozen cases in the same period.
Sanya’s government announced on Saturday that tourists who have had their flights canceled would be able to book hotel rooms at half price. “We just hope it won’t turn into another Shanghai,” the tourist said, referring to that city’s recent draconian, two-month lockdown.
