Thai holiday over, Chinese visitors fly home to Wuhan

The holiday was over for almost 80 Chinese visitors to Thailand.

They were lining up at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport to catch a flight home -- to Wuhan, their hometown and the epicenter of a viral outbreak that has sickened thousands and has been declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization.

Wuhan has been under tight lockdown as Chinese authorities seek to contain further spread of the virus. Reports from the city paint a grim picture of empty streets as residents try to keep out of harm’s way and medical services are strained almost to the breaking point.
