Two days before the start of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the national authorities have set up a real health bubble to avoid contamination. The journalist Josselin Debraux, in duplex from Beijing, tells us about this very supervised Chinese welcome.

Josselin Debraux evokes a “sci-fi scene” as soon as he arrived at Beijing airport, with hundreds of people in full Covid-19 suits. The measures are drastic to attend these Beijing Winter Olympics, with disinfection of luggage and several temperature measurements and Covid-19 tests in an organization “quasi-military“, says the journalist.

A new PCR test is mandatory every day to leave the hotel, and it is impossible to leave the hotel without being accompanied by a Chinese driver, tells us Josselin Debraux. The journalist, in duplex from Beijing, says he is waiting “aimpatiently“the first events which should start this Friday.
