Half of China's infections Saturday came from an international flight

More than half of the coronavirus infections reported by China Sunday stemmed from a Russian flight to Shanghai April 10, underscoring the possible severity of the outbreak in Russia. Shanghai’s Municipal Health Commission said 51 of 52 imported cases Saturday were of Chinese nationals who were diagnosed to have Covid-19 after they landed in the city. The travellers accounted for more than half of 97 imported infections China disclosed Sunday morning. No other information was provided about the flight. China has grounded all but 1 inbound flight per week for foreign airlines in a bid to limit imported cases, but new infections have also found their way back to the country through land borders, especially the one with Russia. <br/>
