Two editions of the Beijing 2022 Playbook outline COVID-19 countermeasures for the Games.

The Playbook serves as the basis of the game plan to ensure that all Games participants and the people of China stay safe and healthy.

The Playbook has been developed jointly by the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2022, the International Olympic Committee, and the International Paralympic Committee.

The Playbook has two versions. The first notifies the Games participants about what they should do before the Games. The second features updated COVID-19 countermeasures and is based on the established principles specified in the first one.

Participants are considered to be fully vaccinated according to the regulations of their country of residence at least 14 days prior to their departure to China, or if not eligible for full vaccination due to proven recent infection.
