From 4 January, 2586 analyzes carried out at Beijing Airport until 22 January found 39 positive results. Another 33 positive cases were recorded in the analyzes of the Olympic bubble, which is isolated from Chinese society.
On Sunday, January 23, six more people had positive tests. At the airport, one positive case was detected in a group of arrivals listing athletes and officials, while three new cases were among other partners, including staff, representatives of international sports federations and journalists. Two new cases were discovered in the Olympic bubble for those who had arrived earlier.
Persons with positive analyzes were isolated and the organizers identified possible contact persons who had to follow certain epidemiological regulations.
After positive tests, participants in the Olympic Games will be allowed to leave the isolation rooms without symptoms as soon as they have received two negative tests 24 hours apart. In turn, a group of medical experts from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will be able to assess cases of long-term positive individuals to decide on the most appropriate course of action.
All participants in the Olympics will be tested daily for Covid-19.
The Beijing Winter Olympics are scheduled for February 4-20. The organizers emphasized that the epidemiological situation had not affected the Beijing Olympics.
