Given the number of athletes and coaches, is that feasable though? Do we know if skaters have to wear masks on the ice during training? Can pair skaters and ice dancers even wear masks or is it too big a risk?Without proper quarantine, I think of it as a piece of the safety puzzle. Combine it would mask wearing, distancing, separate rooms, and the elimination of shared meals/time at the bar/mixing for recreation or socialization, then you should be able to seriously cut down the risk of spread even if an athlete that is unknowingly infectious is cleared to enter the bubble.
I'm mostly concerned about connecting flights. When you go to the airport, you can time it so that you don't have to wait too long but there are probably a number of atheletes who will have to connect. Couple that with fewer flights and they might have to wait for their connecting flight for hours.Yeah. I can't believe we are still at the stage where people think it's enough to test someone on arrival.
And it isn't just about being on the actual plane. It's the getting there, the wait in the airport and the getting to your hotel.
