Like a scene out of Steven Soderbergh’s pandemic thriller “Contagion,” masked tourists are welcomed by an army of employees in complete hazmat matches — white with blue stripes — with face guards or masks and safetyglasses, a last, nondescript interaction after weeks inside the closed loop that kept Games individuals different from the basic population.

Whether monitoring in visitors for their flights or bring an professionalathlete’s skis, these hermetically sealed employees facelessly run the airport. AP professionalphotographers on their method house from the Olympics recorded them on the task.
A employee resolving his team lined up like sentries included illustrations of the popular Olympics mascot Bing Dwen Dwen to the back of a match. Another team gets a push on a cart, bobsled team-like. Canada’s hockey group’s bags get taken for a flight.
No matter the job, it’s being done in complete protective equipment, a last guard from the coronavirus in a zero-COVID policy nation.
