The Tokyo Olympics are like no other Olympic game, with empty stands, mouth guards during awards ceremonies and strict bubbles - both for athletes, journalists and leaders.
But in the Beijing Winter Olympics, which will be inaugurated in less than six months, it will be even tougher.
The arenas are being rebuilt
According to the American New York Times, in Beijing there will be guards in chemical protective suits to ensure that no people leave the bubble.
The athletes will be allowed to give interviews behind plastic walls, and will be forced to have a thermometer in the armpit, which will contain small transmitters that sound an alarm that will sound if the athlete in question gets a fever.
All this so that the coronavirus does not spread.
"No threat to the nation's health and security will be tolerated," insiders told the New York Times.
In addition, the 39 arenas are being rebuilt.
Among other things, new corridors and toilets will be installed in the arenas, to ensure that the athletes will have virtually zero contact with referees, (possible) spectators and jpruam lists.
- These complementary epidemic protection measures are not very large in terms of construction, and not very difficult in terms of construction.
All arenas will be delivered according to the schedule, says Liu Yumin in the organizing committee.
Whether there will be an audience in the arenas is still unclear.
The only thing the organizers have said is that no more than 30,000 people, including accredited participants, will be allowed into the country.
