Barrier gestures applied to the letter.
So much so that there is no longer any contact between humans.
A few days before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a few journalists who had already arrived on site were able to see the specifics of the canteen reserved for the press.
Meals descend from the ceiling and in the kitchens, everything is robotized.
The burgers are made and packaged by a machine.
This dining hall is clearly worthy of an episode of the hit British sci-fi series Black Mirror.

Just one month away from the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, scheduled for February 4 to 20, the Chinese authorities have activated a strict protected area to prevent any contact between people from abroad and the local population. The entire Olympic zone has been sealed off by 200 km of barrier, thus forming a sanitary bubble where athletes, journalists, sports executives and Olympics employees will have to remain confined. "Within the closed loop, we are going to put in place very strict health measures, including daily tests for Covid, to ensure that cases of contamination are quickly detected", explained to AFP Zhao Weidong, communications manager of the organizing committee.
All foreign participants must be vaccinated, the others being subject to a 21-day quarantine.
"We also strongly recommend receiving a booster dose," Zhao told AFP before the bubble was put in place.
We are closely monitoring the new Omicron variant and its global impact.
