What: The Beijing Winter Olympics of 2022 will be held in a bubble from February 4 to 20, enabling citizen fans in the stands.

Why it’s important: The game’s organizers have given the first glimpse into the country's plans to hold the event: a strict zero-Covid strategy.


Athletes and other participants who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to enter the bubble without quarantine, unlike those who are not vaccinated and will have to spend 21 days in quarantine upon arrival. However, foreign fans will not be able to attend the games.

This is good news, knowing that during the Tokyo Summer Olympics of this year, Japan would not allow any fans in the stands, as the capital was placed under a state of emergency.
