During the test match, before boarding the plane, there were indeed positive cases of athletes, so according to the manual requirements, the positive cases did not board the plane to China. At the time of entry, the airport customs and the close contact personnel after entry have indeed detected positive cases, and we have also arranged isolation and treatment in designated hospitals according to the relevant requirements and according to the asymptomatic positive cases, and isolated from relevant designated special facilities.

Judging from these situations we encountered, it should be said that the first edition of the "Epidemic Prevention Manual" did withstand the actual test of the test match.
