LAUSANNE, Switzerland — A 21-day quarantine for non-fully vaccinated athletes, officials and workers at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Daily testing for vaccinated people. No tickets sold to anyone living outside China as Olympic venues open their doors again.
Restrictions imposed to control the Covid-19 pandemic at the next Winter Games in February were announced Wednesday by the International Olympic Committee.
While not imposing a vaccine mandate, organizers in Beijing plan stricter rules than applied at the Tokyo Olympics where vaccination was advised though not demanded within a strict regime of testing.
“Games participants who are not fully vaccinated will have to serve a 21-day quarantine upon arrival in Beijing,” the IOC said in a statement.
