what does the health bubble look like?

Upon landing on the tarmac at Beijing Airport (China)travelers are greeted by ramp agents and baggage handlers dressed in white coveralls anti covidfrom head to toes. For athletes and journalists, this is the beginning of the obstacle course. To return to China, you need two negative PCR tests and have taken your temperature in the fifteen days preceding departure. Once on Chinese soil”it is now necessary to do an oral PCR test and a nasal PCR test”explains Josselin Debrauxspecial envoy to China.

Waiting for the results is then stressful for the athletes, who know them in the next few hours. If it is positive, a whole Olympic dream collapses. The transfer is then made in a bus, escorted by the Chinese police. Hotels have their own security gate. Once in the room, there is a new PCR test. There will be one every morning for the duration of the Games. All trips must be with an official Chinese driver.
