They don't -- they may leave if they show a negative covid test, and one would assume there are testing capabilities on site shortly after the announcement.

That certainly sounds hectic, but this feels like clickbait. Being delayed by a few hours is pretty typical anywhere you may go with unforeseen circumstances.

Of course it's clickbait. China is bad and therefore we must make things look as ridiculous as possible, and make sure people leave comments (as we're already seeing in this thread) about China treating its citizens like prisoners

I'll admit, my idea has some minor scalability issues.
