Athletes are required to take PCR tests at Beijing International Airport ahead of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.

The Team member is now isolating while awaiting a second test. The AOC is respecting the privacy of the individual.

The AOC said in a statement today that “An update will be provided once further testing has been conducted and the situation becomes clearer, with the ongoing process determined by the outcome of the testing.”
