Expansion
China has beefed up preparations to avoid COVID infection in the Winter Olympic Games starting in Beijing. To keep Beijing’s 22 million population safe from corono, China has built a city inside the city where no outside person comes in contact with the players.
Under the COVID Protocol, China has ordered that athletes and their members will not meet outside citizens. There are robots to help and provide services to the people staying here. From feeding food to providing service in hotels, robots are working to reduce human contact.
Thousands of athletes will remain in the bubble for two months
According to China organisers, thousands of athletes and support personnel for the Olympic and Paralympic Games will remain in a bubble for two months. Here the cases of corona have spread in Yanqing, the outer district of Beijing capital and Zhangjiako city of Hebei province. That’s why bubbles were created. Athletes coming from India and abroad will move inside a closed loop by special vehicles. Local residents have also been instructed to stay away from the players even in the event of an accident.
China has more confidence in technology
According to the information received, China is relying on technology to provide services ranging from sleeping pads to food delivery at the organizer sites. Robots are there to welcome guests. Robots have been installed to provide services in hotel rooms. Food packets are also being opened there and given. Actually, China does not want to be careless about the increasing dangers of corona infection. Therefore, strict security protocol arrangements have been made during the conduct of the Olympics. In this regard, the President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, believes that these are necessary steps for the safety of players and citizens.
19 thousand volunteers also present
In the bubble created here, the help of about 19 thousand volunteers is also being taken to help the journalists and players. All these are in bubble for the last three months. Let us inform that even after the implementation of closed-loop system from January 4, new cases are coming to the fore. So far 435 people have been tested at the airport and inside the loop, of which 142 are athletes or members of the national team.
