'Little risk' from China coronavirus for Beijing 2022 test

The Hindu  

There is currently “little risk” from a deadly new virus sweeping parts of China at the venue for the first official alpine skiing test event for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, organisers said Saturday. But Sarah Lewis, secretary-general of the international ski federation, talking in the Austrian resort of Kitzbuehel, said the current status at the Chinese resort of Yanqing was “low risk”. “We're of course following Word Health Organisation instructions and completely aligned with the IOC because the competitions, the FIS alpine ski World Cup in Yanqing, will be the first Beijing 2022 official test event,” Lewis said. “So the IOC are very much involved, they have a full delegation there and their medical direction are liaising closely with the World Health Organisation.” Yanqing, Lewis said, was a 13-hour drive from the area principally affected by the virus.
