Uganda Olympians Had Contact With Infected Member
Eight members of Uganda's Olympic team have been found to have had close contact with another member who tested positive for the coronavirus upon arrival in Japan last weekend.
This was announced by officials of the western Japanese city of Izumisano, which is hosting a training camp for the nine-member team.
The member who got the virus is now staying at a state-designated facility.
The other eight tested negative, and traveled to Izumisano in Osaka Prefecture on Sunday by chartered bus.
City officials said a local public health center determined that the eight members and a city employee who accompanied the team had close contact with the infected member.
City authorities have asked the eight to stay in a hotel until July 3. They plan to consult the center and others before deciding when the athletes can start training.
