Beijing 2022 unveils first playbook
北京冬奥会防疫手册发布

The first playbook that outlines anti-COVID-19 measures for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games was published on Monday. The guidebook, jointly published by the Beijing 2022 organizers, the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee, offers separate versions for athletes and team officials as well as other stakeholders. The playbook specifies that a closed-loop management system will be applied during participants' entire stay in China. 
10月25日，国际奥委会、国际残奥委会和北京冬奥组委三方共同发布第一版《北京2022年冬奥会和冬残奥会防疫手册》。《防疫手册》分两本，一本面向运动员和随队官员，另一本面向所有其他利益相关方。根据《防疫手册》，北京冬奥会和冬残奥会赛时将实行闭环管理政策。

This closed-loop system allows Games participants to enter China without undergoing a compulsory 21-day quarantine, provided they are fully vaccinated. Strict protocols will be in place to identify who has the COVID-19 virus as early as possible through testing and to stop the virus from spreading further. The second editions of the playbook are expected to be published later this year, ahead of the Olympic Winter Games, which will take place from Feb 4 to 20, and the Paralympic Winter Games, which will be held from March 4 to 13.
涉奥人员如已按照《防疫手册》完成疫苗全程接种，入境中国后，不需要进行21天的集中隔离，可直接进入闭环系统。赛事期间将采取严格的防疫措施，通过检测尽早查出感染者，阻止疫情传播。第二版《防疫手册》计划于今年年底发布。北京冬奥会将于2022年2月4日至20日举行，北京冬残奥会将于2022年3月4日至13日举行。

Biden signs order lifting restrictions
拜登签署美国入境新规

US President Joe Biden on Monday signed an order imposing new vaccine requirements for most foreign national air travelers and lifting severe travel restrictions on China, India and much of Europe effective Nov 8 , the White House said. The White House confirmed that children under 18 are exempt from the new vaccine requirements, as are people with some medical issues. Non-tourist travelers from about 50 countries with nationwide vaccination rates of less than 10% will also be eligible for exemption from the rules. 
美国总统拜登10月25日签署了一项新规，对大多数外国旅客实施新的疫苗要求，并取消对中国、印度和欧洲大部分地区的严格旅行限制。新规从11月8日起生效。白宫官员称，未满18周岁的人、有某些健康问题的人、以及接种率低于10%的约50个国家的非旅行签证持有者都可以获得疫苗接种豁免。

Those receiving an exemption will generally need to be vaccinated if they intend to remain in the United States for more than 60 days. International air travelers will need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of departure. The White House said unvaccinated Americans and foreign nationals receiving exemptions will need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 24 hours of departing.
