Olympics Live: Organizers to address quarantine conditions
BEIJING (AP) — Olympic organizers say they’re addressing complaints about isolation conditions for athletes who test positive for the coronavirus. They say they’re working to ensure they have clean rooms, better food and access to training equipment. The comments came after multiple complaints about the isolation conditions. The German team called the situation for its athletes “unreasonable” and said rooms should be bigger and cleaner. Russian biathlon competitor Valeria Vasnetsova said she couldn’t stomach most of the food she was given, and mostly survived on a few pieces of pasta. Soon after the post, a team spokesperson posted a picture showing what he said was improved food, including salmon, cucumbers, sausages and yogurt.
