Reuters:
Could you please talk more about the medical service facilities and staff numbers for the Beijing Winter Olympics. For example, are there any operating rooms in the closed-loop that can handle accidental injuries? Are there any facilities for athletes to exercise if they are quarantined due to the pandemic? Thank you.
Zhao Weidong:
I'll answer your question. In the closed-loop, there are corresponding hospitals to deal with COVID-19 cases and accidental injuries. These hospitals are under strict pandemic prevention management and contain dedicated areas for Olympics-related patients, who will be completely separated from other patients. In July of this year, the BOCOG, together with the Beijing Municipal Health Commission and Hebei Provincial Health Commission, assessed the medical and health preparations of the designated hospitals for the Beijing Winter Olympics. This August, the health commissions of Beijing and Hebei adjusted the tasks and number of beds, while also assembling a team of experts in the infection-control departments to modify the routes for patient reception and treatment in the designated hospitals. To that end, full preparations have been made for medical services and epidemic prevention in the closed-loop. Thank you.
