A member of the Uganda Cranes camp preparing for a trip to Dubai, United Arab Emirates has tested positive for Coronavirus.
This follows an initial blow to the team’s journey on Sunday when travel was halted due to failure to secure an entry document to Dubai in time.
According to inside sources, the member is bound to be left behind and has already gone into quarantine at makeshift center, Namboole Stadium.
Contact-tracing has been carried out and more tests have been lined up to ascertain whether there was spread of the deadly virus to other members.
The team however, is still on course to travel for the nine day camp as preparation for the forthcoming double header against South Sudan in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Some of the players listed for the journey include Allan Kateregga, Charles Lukwago, Samuel Kato, Karim Watambala, Joel Mutakubwa, Paul Mbowa and Halid Lwaliwa among others.
