東京奧運:選手村能擋住新冠病毒嗎? | 距東京奧運會開幕只有一個月的時間,奧運村昨日(6月20日)首次對媒體開放。儘管東京奧組委已經採取了嚴格的防疫措施,但是它們真的會奏效嗎?
跟著BBC駐東京記者傅東飛(Rupert Wingfield-Hayes)一起去現場看看吧。 | By BBC News 中文(繁體) | So, this is the Tokyo Olympic
Village and it's the first chance that any of us in the
media have had to come in and take a look at what will be the
hub of the Tokyo Olympic Games because in a few weeks time,
thousands of athletes from all over the world will arrive in
Tokyo and this is where they will stay during the games. And
the Olympic organizers have brought us here today to show
us how they're gonna do that safely. So, this is a
representation of what the athlete's village uh bedrooms
look like and these are the beds. I have to say they're
quite small they're also as you can see made of cardboard um
which is environmentally friendly but the main issue
about the design of these bedrooms is they are shared as
they always have been in every Olympics previously but because
of the pandemic, there have been many experts who said
sharing rooms for athletes is a really bad idea. So this is one
of the main dining halls and you can see it's pretty vast
and it needs to be uh because they're gonna be serving 45
thousand meals every day during the games. Now, to mitigate the
risk of having so many people coming in here every day and
mixing together, they are telling athletes that they need
to use their smartphone app to find out when it is least busy
here to come alone to pick up their meal and then they'll
come to one of these tables which will have plastic
dividers on them and they are being told they must then eat
their meal alone and do so quickly. It doesn't sound like
an awful lot of fun but that's how they're to mitigate the
risk. So this is the main gym and you can see again it's
pretty huge. There's room apparently for 500 people to
train at any one time here and they do have these dividers
between the machines. But the main anti-covid measure they
are going to enforce here is to make everybody who comes in
wear a mask even when they're on these machines. And it's
hard to see how AU enforce that but also how these Olympic
level athletes are gonna wear a mask while training hard on one
of these machines. So, this is a facility that's specifically
built because of the COVID-19 pandemic. You wouldn't find it
at a normal Olympics. This is a fever clinic. In a room over
there, that's where you go and you get tested. If you, if you
have a fever, if you've developed symptoms, you then
get a PCR test. If that comes back positive, an athlete will
be brought to one of these specialist isolation rooms and
this has an air filtration system that means no virus can
get out of this room and and this is basically where they'll
be kept until they can be moved somewhere else.
