SHANGHAI/BEIJING (Reuters) - The first of Shanghai's latest coronavirus infections emerged in airport cargo handlers who cleaned a container that arrived on a flight from North America, city officials said on Monday, as it battles a surge of cases among airport workers.
The news comes as aviation data provider Variflight flagged cancellation of more than 40% of Monday's flights at the Chinese business hub's Pudong airport, one of the world's busiest and a key gateway for international flights during the pandemic.
