For example, our flow lines do not cross, and the partitions do not overlap. We have set up our own separate flow lines for different customer groups.
The athlete group has its own separate streamline. The main area for athletes is the athlete rest area and the competition area, the FOP area.
Then after the athlete enters the FOP area, we will arrange full-time volunteers in the sports field to collect his personal belongings for the athlete, such as his mask (etc.) personal belongings, and will give him a separate collection device.
