Other measures have been included for visually-impaired athletes too.

"To prevent the spread of COVID-19, we don't encourage coaches to communicate with athletes competing in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics by shouting, but such behaviour is allowed during the competition of visual-impaired Para-athletes," said Wang Quanyi, deputy director of the public health department of Beijing 2022.

"Although a strict mask-on policy will be enforced in venues during both Games, we allow people to briefly remove their masks when communicating with hearing-impaired athletes who are used to read lips or facial expressions, but they have to keep a safe distance and put the masks on immediately after the conversation."

Wang warned these measures would be as strict as the Olympics, aside from the adaptions.
