Athletes and team officials are testing positive for COVID-19 at higher rates than other people arriving in China for the Beijing Olympics.
Each person arriving in China is tested for COVID-19 and can continue their journey to Beijing with a negative result. People are then tested again at the Beijing airport and are screened daily during the Games.
“For the first few days in the closed loop, the risk is still a bit higher because of the risk of people incubating the disease very slowly,” Brian McCloskey, MD, an Olympic medical adviser who is leading the organizers’ medical expert panel, told the AP.
