More than 3,000 fake Covid-19 vaccination cards have been confiscated at cargo freight facilities at the Anchorage airport as they were being shipped from China, reports AP.

Officers from US Customs and Border Protection seized the cards last week as they arrived in small packages.

An agency spokesperson said there were between 135 to 150 packages found at Anchorage, all sent by the same person in China. Each package contained a small number of fake cards — between 20 to 90 cards.
