Fly_like_a_don 995 Posted February 3, 2022 #871 Share Posted February 3, 2022 One of the Chinese soldiers who was involved in the Galwan valley fight was given the Olympic torch which prompted a lot of criticism. As result no ceremonies will be shown live in I the country . However rest of the games will be shown as scheduled (TV and Olympics channel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breakdown is as below Upon Arrival: Athletes and team staff:13 Others:16 Positive rate:29/753=3.85% Inside the closed-loop Athletes and team staff:13 Others:13 Positive rate:26/67137=0.04% https://www.beijing2022.cn/wog/wap.htm#/20220203001484/20220203001484 The Beijing committee website updates the Covid numbers daily, usually at 11am Beijing time. Very low positivity rate even with daily testing. This shows that China's measures against the omicron is working. Congratulations once again to Beijing.

hckošice 13,339 Posted February 4, 2022 #876 Share Posted February 4, 2022 First change in Olympic Beijing 2022 Official Team. Mislav Rosandič officially replaced Mário Grman. @dcro one more "quota" in Beijing Now about the others. From the players who landed yesterday, 3 had questionable positive results, Defencer Samuel Kňažko and forwards Tomáš Jurčo and Kristián Pospíšil. However the control tests were negatives for all 3. Now we are waiting for the result of the second control tests which should be known this evening, if they will be also negative then all 3 will be fine and free According to our officials, it looks very promising, as it appears all 3 had just false positive result. The only sad thing though is that all 3 will have to miss the opening ceremony they wanted so much to participate tonight, The rest of the team had already the first Training session in Beijing this morning. The remaining 6 players who stayed in Bratislava (Cehlárik, Krištof, Kelemen, Ďaloga, Konrád and Čerešňák) will arrive tomorrow to China, all had negative tests and were cleared also by the Chinese embassy in Slovakia.

Vic Liu 1,620 Posted February 4, 2022 #880 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Rumor says China downgrade the standard of being Covid positive after complaints. I guess it’s consistent to Europe standard now. So we may see less cases in coming days. opruh, rafalgorka and Jan Linha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
