It’s Dubbed “China’s Hawaii” for its Sandy beaches and high end hotels, now it’s a hotspot

The popular resort city of Sanya, on China’s tropical Hainan Island, has been thrown into Covid-19 lockdown.

Approximately 80,000 tourists remain stranded in the popular holiday destination, according to the Deputy mayor He Shigang.

Upwards of 800 cases have been reported so far, making it the latest hotspot.

From August 6, tourists are required to stay in the region for seven days and clear five covid tests before leaving.

80 per cent of flights leaving the area have been cancelled, all public transport has been halted, and peoples movements now being heavily restricted.

The city has been divided into medium and high risk zones, in an attempt to curb the growing number of cases.

However, the lockdown comes at the peak of summer tourism.

Authorities are working around the clock to help stranded travellers by offering them half-price discounts on hotels.

Mass testing has now begun, with reports tourists are queuing for up to 90 minutes.

Just spent 1.5hrs queuing to test in Dadonghai, #Sanya. The only testing site in the area since cases started rising. The swab dispenser is manual, meaning every, single, person in this line has touched it to test. pic.twitter.com/yrnug37RZB

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
