Covid-19: Wuhan Tianhe Airport undergoes disinfection

Officials have disinfected Terminal 3 at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport before it opens for passengers after around two months of closure. In January, China shut down all modes of transport to and from Wuhan city, which was the epicentre of the Covid-19 outbreak. The airport is set to reopen on 8 April after the travel restrictions are lifted in the city. Wuhan Tianhe International Airport is situated 26km north of Wuhan City and operates direct flights to New York, London, San Francisco, Paris, Rome and Moscow. Xinhua quoted terminal management head Ye Tao as saying that the disinfection process for the 570,000m² area in the terminal was carried out by 161 professionals.<br/>
