WATCH: Shoppers appear to flee Shanghai Ikea in Covid scare

Video posted on social media shows people fleeing from an Ikea store in Shanghai.

Local authorities said there was a temporary lockdown because a shopper had been in contact with someone who had Covid-19.

Customers appear to barge through doors that seem to be being held shut by security staff.

Some people said on social media that they were transferred from the store to a quarantine hotel on Saturday night and returned home two days later.
