Chinese airlines are offering refunded flight tickets in a bid to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the country.

China has largely contained the spread of the virus in most areas, but travel restrictions remain in place if outbreaks are detected, including in the capital, Beijing.

The offer came Tuesday from the government’s aviation authority amid a push to prevent people travelling during the Lunar New Year holiday next month.

Schools are going on break a week early and migrant workers have been told not to travel back to their hometowns.
