The International Olympic Committee said that the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will move forward as planned amid the ongoing COVID-19 surge.
Per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN), Switzerland's Olympic Committee "asked for talks" about potentially postponing the Games as case numbers drastically rise worldwide.
The IOC then told the Swiss team as well as other worldwide officials in a videoconference that the Olympics were going to be held as planned.
"The issue of a postponement is no longer relevant to all of us," Swiss team leader Ralph Stockli said in a statement.
