China reduces Covid-19 testing rules for Winter Olympics

Organisers of the Beijing Winter Olympics have eased a Covid-19 testing requirement for participants.

The new change makes it easier for participants arriving at the Games to be considered virus-free.

Over two million residents in Beijing’s Fengtai district have been told to undergo testing as a handful of locally transmitted cases were found earlier this week.

Chinese officials are aiming to wipe out small outbreaks of the virus before the Games begin on 4 February as Beijing continues its zero-Covid strategy.
