Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 will be sent into isolation and unable to compete until cleared for discharge. The prevention protocols will be similar to those at the Tokyo Games this summer, but much tighter. That won’t be a stretch in Beijing, with China having maintained a “Zero COVID” policy since early in the pandemic. Upon arrival at the airport in Beijing, participants will have their temperatures taken and be tested with throat and nasal swabs. As for local fans, Beijing organizers say they’re finalizing rules for their attendance.
