The Beijing authorities urged residents not to assist participants in the Winter Olympics in February in the event of an accident. This is due to concerns about the spread of coronavirus in the capital of the world’s most populous country.
“Please keep a safe distance in the event of an accident and do not come into contact with the car and its occupants,” the DPA quoted the Beijing Transport Authority as saying. At the same time, its representatives called on citizens to wait for professional rescuers in the event of an accident belonging to the Olympics.
The Olympic Games are to be held in a closed bubble in February, which is intended to prevent direct contact between the participants and the population. China is fighting the covid-19 pandemic with a policy of so-called zero tolerance, which means that it is trying to prevent the local spread of the virus in its infancy.
