Guards in hazmat gear were seen pointing machine guns at frightened families trapped inside a Chinese airport after the facility was placed on lockdown following a spike in Covid infections.

Video shows the officers, armed with guns and shields, pushing back the crowds of people who were forced to stay inside the Xishuangbanna airport in Yunnan on Wednesday.

Angry travellers were crying and screaming 'are you gonna kill us all?' at the guards after they were forcibly locked inside the terminal.

The lockdown came after 61 new coronavirus infections were reported in the Yunnan province earlier this week.
