Organisers of 2022 Winter Games said that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is addressing complaints about isolation conditions for athletes who have tested positive for COVID-19 and are working to ensure they have clean rooms, better food and access to training equipment, during a press conference in Beijing on Sunday.
“It's a duty, it's a responsibility we have to make sure that the expectations are met. And we've heard and we discussed with the NOC (National Olympic Committee) and in the meantime, the situation has been addressed. Nevertheless, the conditions were not good enough that night, and it should not happen, “ said IOC Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi.
The statements came after multiple complaints about the isolation conditions. Germany's team chief Dirk Schimmelpfennig said that multiple Olympic champion Eric Frenzel's isolation room at the Beijing Winter Games is "unacceptable" and demanded immediate improvement.
