THE BRITISH PARALYMPIC ASSOCIATION expects all British athletes travelling to Beijing 2022 to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and has warned the team cannot be complacent in dealing with the virus.
Between 20 and 25 Paralympics GB athletes are forecast to fly to China’s capital for the winter games, which run from March 4-13.
Chef de mission Phil Smith, who was deputy to Penny Briscoe for last year’s rescheduled summer Paralympics in Tokyo, anticipates most of the British delegation, about 65 to 70 people in total, will also have received a booster injection prior to departure.
