Rao clarified that the toilets are being cleaned thrice a day but with almost 75 patients in one COVID-19 ward, it gets difficult more so, due to workers crunch. He also suggested the young patients in the ward to maintain the toilets after their use so that they remain clean. He assured that more workers including doctors, nurses, sanitary workers, and other categories of staff would be added for the smooth functioning of the COVID-19 ward by next weekend.
