The duo is now on the mend after mild symptoms. However, Jungk and Neise each have to show four negative PCR tests before they can enter China – so it gets tight. “They start testing on Monday. We are still hopeful that it will work out in time‘ Baude said.
China relies on strict rules
Strict corona rules apply at the Olympic Games. Anyone who has entered China and has access to the closed Olympic bubble may not leave it until departure. Daily PCR tests of athletes and team members should detect infections in good time.
Anyone who tests positive must be isolated immediately. Athletes without symptoms have to go to a quarantine hotel, people with corona symptoms should go to a hospital, according to the “Playbook”. The isolation should take place immediately.
