The number of corona infections at the Winter Games in Beijing remains at a low level.
During the daily checks of all Olympic participants in the bladder, a new infection was discovered on Monday among around 70,000 corona tests, as the organizers now announced.
A total of 433 infections have been detected since the start of travel to the Winter Games on January 23. While at times over 30 infections per day were registered at the beginning of the games, the number of new cases has recently always been in the single digits.
Extremely strict precautionary measures against the corona virus apply to the Winter Games. All participants, from athletes to coaches to journalists, are restricted to closed circuits and completely cut off from the rest of the country and ordinary Chinese people.
Anyone who has contracted the virus will be isolated in a specially designated hotel. Only after two negative PCR tests at least 24 hours apart can those affected leave before the end of ten days. After this period, only a negative PCR test is required.
