Registered participants including foreign media personnel will be free to move from their residencies to venues, as well as between the three competition areas located in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, by means of designated transport in the areas under "closed-loop" management, the Beijing 2022 Winter Games organizers said at Friday's press briefing.
As the global pandemic situation remains severe and complex, all participants for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics will enter a closed-loop management system in order to prevent the possible spread of the pandemic, according to the organizers.
For foreign participants leaving China after the Games, the organizing committee will provide nucleic acid testing services and certification within 48 hours before they depart for international travel. The relevant working staff will also help these overseas participants to complete the health declaration after their departure.
For those foreign participants who will still work or live in China, reporters for example, they will be put under quarantine and leave the closed-loop management afterwards to guarantee epidemic control safety outside of the closed loop.
The duration of quarantine is determined by related experts based on their working scenarios, according to the organizers.
