Czech Olympics team settling down in Beijing

The Czech Olympics team has arrived at their Olympics village in Beijing and is preparing for the games amid strict Covid regulations, Czech Television reported.

Of the 139 member team all but one passed their Covid PCR tests, conducted upon arrival. An unnamed hockey player who recently underwent Covid tested positive.

The athletes are kept very much in isolation and repeatedly tested for Covid in an effort to prevent the spread of infection, such as that which occurred at the Tokyo Summer Olympics last year when the team posed for photographs without respirators and then removed them during the flight for greater comfort.
