[The Epoch Times, June 18, 2021](Reported by Epoch Times reporters Hong Ning and Fang Xiao) On June 18, more than 400 flights at Shenzhen Airport were cancelled. The official and the media did not explain why. The people interviewed by the Epoch Times reporter and many netizens broke the news that employees of a restaurant at the airport were infected with the Chinese Communist virus (Wuhan pneumonia, COVID-19). However, as of press time, there was no official notification, which caused doubts from netizens.
According to the World Wide Web report, on June 18, passengers from Shenzhen said that the plane was delayed extensively. As of 14:25 in the afternoon of the same day, Shenzhen Bao’an Airport has cancelled more than 400 flights in and out of the port, and the proportion of inbound and outbound cancellations is about 40%.
Regarding this brief report, netizens questioned: What caused the cancellation of flight 400? Headless news!
The Epoch Times reporter contacted the front desk of Shenzhen Bao’an Airport Hotel. A service staff member said that the epidemic in Shenzhen is very serious. The hotel has been closed and all personnel have been isolated. “We can’t go home. The airport ticket sales are also closed and there are no flights.”
A waiter at the Shenzhen Peace Hotel told the Epoch Times reporter that our hotel is half an hour away from the airport. A notice was issued this morning that a staff member of a restaurant in the airport had been diagnosed. The area of Xia Shiwei (outside the airport) is close to being closed. “Our hotel can now check in, but the green code and ID card are required.”
The reporter then called the manual service desk of Shenzhen Bao’an Airport. The person receiving the call said that domestic flights have not stopped in and out of Shenzhen, but there are cases of flight reduction. For specific information, please consult the airline. Asked if there were any confirmed persons at the airport, the person denied it and said, “Look at the official report.”
Many netizens on Weibo complained about the situation in the local area, but the officials did not report it.
“I heard that because someone has been diagnosed at the airport, the official has not notified it.” “An employee of the restaurant at the airport tested positive this morning.” “Today (18th) I received a bunch of messages: the community was closed and was quarantined. As for the investigation, everyone in the group is also saying that I hope the epidemic will end soon.”
“I don’t know how long the Xia Shiwei will be sealed off!” “The Shenzhen Health and Health Commission’s news update is too slow! All kinds of so-called rumors are flying all over the sky, and the official does not refute them. What do you mean?”
