A closed-loop training base for national-levelathletes is expected to be put into operation this month in Pingtan, according to the Tourism, Culture, and Sports Bureau of Pingtan, an island off E China’s Fujian province.

During the2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, China put the “Bubble” closed-loop management in place to curb Covid. “Bubble,” as the name suggests, is like a virtual snow globe in which national athletes and coaches go on with their daily life and training inside, uninterrupted by the outside world.

"At the moment, the venue complex could take up basketball, volleyball, badminton, and other various sports games and training. The venue is well-equipped with dormitories, dining halls, gyms, and other facilities," introduced Zhou Gui’an, general manager of Pingtan Wyndham Hotel where the training base lies.
