Winter Olympics: Beijing armored as a new hearth erupts

2 December 20212 years ago babelfish

The Beijing Winter Olympics are approaching, which the government says will be held regularly from February 4, but fears, including the authorities, are skyrocketing over the dangers of spreading the covid. As RFA reports currently, to enter or re-enter the capital it is necessary to be able to prove that you have a negative covid-19 test no older than 48 hours if you come from an area of China considered at risk. Not only that: even parcels and mail are stopped and checked for the risk that it could carry the infection, even if there are very few cases of transmission of this kind.

Meanwhile, there are major problems in the Inner Mongolia region, where the coronavirus epidemic has resumed strongly. Officials announced Wednesday, December 1, that there have been 113 new confirmed cases of coronavirus pneumonia on the last day, 90 percent of which were local cases, and all patients have been diagnosed in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia. The cold and dry climate of the area seems to facilitate the spread of the virus and this greatly worries the authorities who fear its spread in Beijing.

Another 22 imported cases were found in Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangdong. According to the official preliminary analysis of the authorities, the virus was imported from goods imported from abroad, and then spread in the form of "person-to-person or person-to-person transmission". This strange position is officially taken because, not being the Chinese virus, it can only be imported, thus giving a blow to imports and helping the national economy.

In the meantime, the news arrives that the athletes who will go to Beijing for the winter Olympics will not be able to access the Olympic village immediately, but will have to spend a period of observation in hotels in Zhangjiakou. In short, a really nice event is being prepared in Beijing ..
