Although this COVID-19 outbreak has increased the prevention pressure for China, Chinese health experts noted that China will ensure a safe international sports event since it can draw on lessons learned from previous experience in quelling local outbreaks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Another concern is the global spread of the Omicron variant. The current anti-epidemic policies to guard the Beijing Winter Olympic Games have taken into full&nbsp; consideration of all possibilities, and the closed-loop management of people related to the Games will ensure they have no contact with the world outside of the closed loop, so the possibility of having COVID-19 is extremely low, Lu Hongzhou, head of the Third People\u2019s Hospital of Shenzhen and member of the expert committee of national disease control and prevention, told the Global Times on Monday.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>The <\/span><i><span>Global Times <\/span><\/i><span>quoted Chinese \u201cexperts\u201d who confidently predicted their government\u2019s superior pandemic control policies, in concert with high vaccination rates, would bring the outbreak under control.
