Record 55 positives today. I guess the most worrying fact is that almost half of these come from those who were already in the village....

 

Rumour has it there is a secret set number of positive tests allowed beyond which the Olympics will get cancelled...

Maybe @Vic Liucould confirm any of these rumours? .... Anyways I doubt the cancellation..... Like Junior WCH in ice hockey. Cancelled after a few days..... It has started so I highly doubt they quit half way....

Yeah, it would probably have to turn into something like the junior hockey worlds (complete teams withdrawing).

But I would make a clear distinction again. Only the indoor competitions in Beijing should be really problematic. 
I don't see any increased risk of infection at the outdoor competitions in Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, and so far there have probably been fewer positive cases than in ice hockey, for example. Therefore, I would be surprised to see a complete cancellation, but rather in the sports in Beijing.

29 of the 55 positive tests were conducted at the airport after the arrival so I presume those people won't be a risk except for those who shared a flight with them?
