The knock came in the middle of the night, a pounding on the door that awakened an NBC Sports employee who had triggered COVID protocols in Beijing. One of the employees spent approximately eight days in isolation, the second for nine days and counting as of Monday evening. “CBC/Radio-Canada had two employees in isolation in Beijing as a result of COVID protocols in place upon their arrival,” the CBC said in a statement to Yahoo Sports. One confirmed positive, regardless of symptoms — or even, potentially, a close contact with someone who tests positive — and it’s off to an isolation facility. “It does not mean that you are infectious.”That would be of little solace, and likely great frustration, to anyone caught in China’s COVID protocols.
