As for the reactions and improvements needed:- One hundred plus electric kettles are needed for athletes' daily needs, while a request for the same has been submitted to the Indian Embassy.- Rooms are being cleaned every three days to minimise contact with the athletes.- Food options are aplenty, including Indian foods. However, some feel that the Indian food could be prepared a little better.- Most of the Indians have been handed the daily testing kits and can hand over the swab samples to the IOA officials before preparing to leave for training.
