Anti-COVID measures at the Games in Beijing will be stricter than in Tokyo

Russia (bbabo.net), - At the Beijing Olympic Games in February 2022, measures to combat the spread of coronavirus will be even stricter than those at the Tokyo 2020 Games.

This was stated by the operational director of the International Olympic Committee Pierre Ducret. He spoke about a number of important differences between the Beijing and Tokyo Olympics.

"For admission to the so-called" closed system "it is now necessary to be fully vaccinated. Secondly, here each participant will undergo PCR testing daily. As you remember, in Tokyo this rule only applied to athletes in the Olympic village and people from their environment, but not everyone," Ducret said.

Ducret added that this time the participants of the Games will be completely isolated from the outside world.

Another feature will be that only certain types of masks will be allowed during the Olympics.

The 2022 Games in Beijing will be held from 4 to 20 February.
