Lin Dahui, chairman of the Hong Kong Institute of Sport, held a press conference today (14th) to update the situation in the sports institute under the epidemic, saying that full-time athletes and related team staff will be arranged to voluntarily choose to vaccinate.
Lin Dahui: Vaccines are more effective in protecting athletes
Lin Dahui said that after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the Tokyo Olympics will be held as scheduled, he contacted Nie Dequan, the head of the Civil Service Bureau, who was responsible for coordinating the new crown vaccination plan, after a meeting in Beijing last week, saying that he hopes the government can help athletes, employees, etc. Vaccination to ensure that athletes can be protected more effectively.
Lin Dahui, chairman of the Hong Kong Sports Institute, said that full-time athletes and related team staff would voluntarily choose to vaccinate.
Voluntary choice for full-time athletes
He pointed out that Nie Dequan implemented on Saturday (13th) that the government can arrange for athletes to be vaccinated, and will arrange it at the gym as soon as March 22. The vaccinators can choose between the two vaccines of China Kexing and Fubitai. The vaccine will also be vaccinated on two separate days to protect the health of athletes "as soon as possible".
However, he said that athletes do not have "special discounts" after being vaccinated. They still have to abide by government policies and be isolated for 21 days after returning to Hong Kong after going abroad.
He emphasized that he would follow the government's voluntary selective vaccination. "I personally, the management of the sports institute and the medical team will explain the necessity of vaccination to the athletes." He also cited the Hong Kong team table tennis "one brother" Huang Zhenting as an example, saying that he had encountered the latter by chance. Ask the athletes when they can get the vaccine to let him know the wishes of the Hong Kong general.

Huang Zhenting: "I have confidence in domestic vaccines"
Lin Dahui revealed that he had also vaccinated with Huo Qigang, the vice chairman of the Hong Kong Association and Olympic Committee, and I believe the Hong Kong Association also expressed support for athletes' vaccination.
Lin Dahui pointed out that the relevant arrangements were implemented yesterday (13th), so the media was notified last night to hold a press conference this afternoon. He pointed out that the management will notify the athletes tomorrow (15th) that there are 500 full-time athletes and 500 in the gym. Coaches and athletes are eligible for vaccination.
When the reporter asked some athletes about this, some athletes said they did not know. Huang Zhenting, who has won the qualification for the Tokyo Olympics, said that he still has confidence in Kexing: "The institute will vaccinate us with influenza vaccine every year. There will be some side effects, but now the virus is relatively new. But we have to believe in science. China’s progress is obvious to all. I have confidence in the vaccine made in China.”
