Faced with 80,000 tourists stranded under the static management due to the recent epidemic flare-up, the southern Chinese city of Sanya announced on Saturday hotel concessions to ease their financial burden.
 

The "Hawaii of China" announced the activation of temporary static management starting from Saturday morning to contain the spread of COVID-19. In addition to ensuring basic social operation services, epidemic prevention and control, as well as emergency situations, movements will be restricted, while all public transport is suspended.
 

Hotels in Sanya will offer 50 percent discount for staying guests, who will be able to leave the island after seven-day risk assessment, the city official said during a press briefing on Saturday afternoon. Tourism-related authorities, industry associations and enterprises have also set up special teams for handling order cancellation due to the epidemic outbreak.
 

At present, about 80,000 tourists are stranded in Sanya, of which the majority are in the low-risk Sanya Bay and Yalong Bay, according to He Shigang, the city's deputy mayor. To prevent the tourist-concentrated areas from the virus spread, the city requires 24-hour nucleic acid testing result for entering those areas.
 

Hainan announced on Saturday the launch of province-wide nucleic acid testing as the spread of the epidemic further expanded on the island. A total of 646 new infections were reported from Monday to 12 pm Saturday. The province has a population of more than 10 million.
 

The railway authorities have banned all ticket sales in Sanya, and residents cannot leave Sanya by rail.
 

All flights leaving Sanya are required to be canceled on Saturday, and there are flights to Sanya that have turned back en route, according to Yicai.com. Passengers stranded at the Sanya airport will be transferred to hotels in the city for follow-up arrangements.
 

Prices of air tickets leaving Sanya have skyrocketed. For flights from Sanya to Shanghai, economy class tickets are being sold for around 3,000 yuan ($443), while business class is priced around $15,000.
