BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- On February 4, the Beijing Winter Olympics will kick off at the "Bird's Nest" at the National Stadium. As the first Winter Olympics held after the global outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the epidemic prevention measures have always touched the heartstrings of all parties. What kind of epidemic prevention answer sheet will be handed over at the Beijing Winter Olympics?
The policy is comprehensive
In December last year, the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, together with the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee, jointly issued the (second edition) of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Epidemic Prevention Manual (hereinafter referred to as the "Epidemic Prevention Manual"), which sets out epidemic prevention guidelines for all stakeholders to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Under the premise of keeping the basic framework content of the first edition unchanged, this version of the epidemic prevention manual absorbs the opinions and suggestions of various stakeholders, combines the problems found in the test match, and refines and improves specific measures and related details such as pre-game epidemic prevention policies, previous infection review, nucleic acid testing process, stakeholder destination list, and standards for isolation facilities for asymptomatic infected persons, so as to make the epidemic prevention manual more operational.

The second edition of the epidemic prevention manual supplements some relevant epidemic prevention measures, such as increasing the epidemic prevention requirements of Chinese personnel, adding the key information content of the circulation work, and the spectator policy of athletes.
In addition, the epidemic prevention manual also refines the content related to epidemic prevention. For example, the relevant policies of athletes before the game are closely linked, and the relevant processes for the re-examination of positive personnel have been added to the relevant work processes of overseas testing institutions.
At the same time, the epidemic prevention manual further clarifies the workflow of vaccine exemption review and the review process of previously infected people. Issues such as the flight booking process, which are of great concern to all stakeholders, have been clarified in the second edition of the epidemic prevention manual. For specific service standards such as accommodation transportation, it has also been refined and improved.

The nucleic acid testing time, specific sampling methods, and the list of destinations to which various stakeholders can go are included in the second edition of the epidemic prevention manual.
With the release of the second edition of the epidemic prevention manual, the epidemic prevention policy of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games has been further refined and optimized, and the comprehensive epidemic prevention policy has become the most important guarantee for the epidemic prevention work of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
Means of innovation
In addition to the comprehensive epidemic prevention policy, in the process of promoting the specific epidemic prevention work, the application of some scientific and technological means has also greatly improved the safety factor of the event.
After layers of selection, the bioaerosol new coronavirus nucleic acid detection system was identified as one of the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics" projects. During the race, aerosol collectors are expected to be installed in multiple venues to provide aerosol COVID-19 detection guarantee.

There will also be more than 100 "intelligent epidemic prevention personnel" in major venues and Winter Olympic Villages, participants do not need to take off their masks, within a second to achieve identity recognition, intelligent temperature measurement and other inspection links, to maximize the efficiency of information verification, improve the speed of passage.
Previously, in the series of test activities of "Meet in Beijing", some scientific and technological epidemic prevention methods have been applied. There is a hand disinfection induction device at the entrance of the venue, and the newspaper is also broadcast in Chinese and English: "Please disinfect your hands and do a good job of personal protection".
The staff hangs an epidemic prevention card with a health pass code on their chest, and can swipe the code to view the information in a specific location, connect with the background big data platform, and monitor and prompt the gathering of personnel and related situations through nucleic acid detection, health monitoring, real-time body temperature and other data.
Emergency complete
During the Beijing Winter Olympics, a large number of foreign athletes and entourage will enter the closed loop of the Winter Olympics. In view of the fact that the epidemic situation abroad is still grim, the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee has also made an emergency plan for the emergence of positive cases of new crown.
Take the National Bobsleigh Center as an example: last November, the "Meet in Beijing" 2021/2022 International Bobsleigh Federation Bobsleigh World Cup was held at the National Bobsleigh Center. According to the epidemic prevention plan, all athletes implement closed-loop management, and their lives are two points and one line of hotel venues, without contact with the outside world. This arrangement is to ensure that even if there are positive cases of COVID-19, there will be no impact on the outside world.
In the closed loop, according to the regulations, once an athlete has a positive nucleic acid test result, the emergency plan must be quickly activated, and all the established plans should be immediately adjusted.
Liu Jianhui, deputy director of the venue service of the National Bobsleigh Center, once introduced: "For example, once you go to a hotel, everyone knows that there is an infected person, who is his close contact, how to train in groups, how to take a car, how to eat, these scenes may be in the guidelines (epidemic prevention manual), but once they are strung together, it is very complicated." ”
In response to this pressure, the event has established a well-developed information base, such as the arrangement of the daily shuttle for all athletes, as well as the order in which the athletes depart. If you get feedback from the results of the nucleic acid sampling point and an athlete becomes positive, he can quickly lock his current position.

During the Beijing Winter Olympics, the organizing committee will also pay close attention to the changes in the epidemic situation, respect expert opinions, maintain close communication with the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee, and maintain the flexibility of dynamic adjustment of prevention and control measures.
In order to hold a safe sports event, the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee has made many efforts in epidemic prevention. At the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, they will surely present a high-scoring answer sheet. (End)
