The Beijing Winter Olympics epidemic prevention and control theme media briefing was held this morning at the main media center of the Beijing Winter Olympics. As a foreign expert, McCloskey spoke highly of the epidemic prevention measures of the Beijing Winter Olympics, saying that from the moment he arrived at the capital airport, he felt the effectiveness and efficiency of the epidemic prevention measures of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and in the few days of entering the closed loop life, he further confidence that the Beijing Winter Olympics would be a safe event.

McCloskey said that at present, there are some positive cases of new crown in the Olympic personnel involved in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, but in terms of scale, it is similar to the situation of the New Crown infection of the Olympic personnel involved in the Tokyo Olympic Games at that time. In view of the fact that the current epidemic situation is still relatively serious in the world, it is normal for positive cases of new crown to appear in the Beijing Winter Olympics, which is also expected by the International Olympic Committee and the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee. At the same time, it is precisely for this reason that the closed-loop management policy of the Beijing Winter Olympics is necessary, and the closed-loop policy has been proven to be effective at the Tokyo Olympic Games and some other international events held since the epidemic.

McCloskey believes that as the peak of The arrival of Olympic-related personnel in China is approaching, it is expected that the number of positive cases detected by Olympic-related personnel will also reach a peak in these days, "but our goal has never been zero cases, but to effectively cut off the transmission route of the epidemic," McLocki said. We are doing the right thing now, and we believe that the current closed-loop management policy can work effectively. ”

According to Huang Chun, deputy director of the Epidemic Prevention and Control Office of the Beijing Winter Olympics, at present, the positive cases of new crown detected by the Olympic-related personnel of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games are mainly detected at the customs after the arrival of the Olympic-related personnel in China during the nucleic acid testing, and the positive cases of the new crown found in the closed loop are mainly related to the incubation period of the new crown virus, and there is no cluster epidemic in the closed loop.
