Travelers in central China experienced major disruptions Thursday, before the start of the important Lunar New Year holiday, as authorities shut down rail and bus lines, canceled hundreds of flights and cut off highways to try to stop the spread of the pneumonialike coronavirus from Wuhan.
The city of Huanggang, next to the epicenter of Wuhan, will be placed under a travel ban at midnight Thursday local time. The smaller, neighboring municipality of Ezhou has closed its train station to guard against transmission. The combined area is home to 20 million people. |
