“We are now just going through the peak period of people arriving in China and therefore we expect to see the highest numbers at this stage,” the Games’ medical chief, Brian McCloskey, told a news conference.
Organizers are “confident” in their system of COVID-19 prevention, and infections are unlikely to leak out into the public, McCloskey said.
Cases among athletes and team officials exceeded those for “other stakeholders,” including media, sponsors and staff, for the first time since China started releasing daily numbers of Olympics-related coronavirus cases on January 23, according to a Reuters tally of previous statements.
“It’s annoying that every morning you need to get up a little earlier specially to get a PCR test. I think that in a few days, it will be like brushing your teeth,” Russian hockey player Anton Slepyshev told RIA news agency.
“Everyone is concerned that the test result will suddenly turn out to be positive. But the reality is such that we are living with COVID. We accept all the risks and fears,” he said.
The Games are to run from Friday to Februry 20, its bubble sealed off from the rest of China, where the government’s zero-tolerance COVID-19 policy has all but shut the country’s border to international arrivals.
