BEIJING - A Lufthansa plane carrying around 200 mainly German workers landed in China on Saturday , marking the first return of Europeans since the country suspended visas over the coronavirus.
The move underlined its fears over imported coronavirus cases and a second wave of infections as the virus epicentre shifted beyond China, where the deadly pathogen was first reported late last year. Lufthansa's flight from Frankfurt landed shortly before noon at Tianjin airport, southeast of Beijing, the German flag-carrier said.
"We did not know if this plane would leave or not" until the last minute, said passenger Alexander Ophoven before take-off.
