This closed-loop management system will be a bubble-like environment where athletes, journalists, volunteers, and other officials will have to do everything — including eating, sleeping, working, and competing — all in the ‘bubble’ without leaving.
Everyone will stay in this ‘closed-loop management system’ from the time they arrive until the time they depart. According to the International Olympic Committee, this closed-loop system will cover all Games-related areas, including arrival and departure, transport, accommodation, catering, competitions, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
Participants will only be allowed to move between Games-related venues for training, competitions, and work within this loop. For the vaccination policy, those who are vaccinated will enter the closed-loop management system, and those who aren’t will have to quarantine for 21 days upon arrival in Bejing. Testing will be required daily for anyone in this closed-loop management system.
An updated version of this new principle will be released in October, and a second version will be published in December.
