Athletes who can provide a “justified medical exemption” will have their cases considered.<img src="https://hongkongfp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/24-01-2019-Beijing-2022-01-Copy-1050x647.jpg" alt="Beijing 2022 Olympics" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Official emblems for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. Photo: International Olympic Committee.All attendees will enter a strict bubble upon arrival that covers Games-related areas and stadiums as well as accommodation, catering and the opening and closing ceremonies.The decisions, announced by the IOC but taken by Chinese organisers, are a foretaste of a package of measures to be released in October designed to prevent the Games from turning into a source of contamination.Spectators were banned from almost all venues at the Tokyo 2020 Games after it was delayed a year by the global health crisis.All domestic and international Games participants and workforce in the bubble, known as the “closed-loop management system”, will be tested daily.</blockquote>
