The team member who tested positive had since been barred from entering Japan and is currently staying at a government-designated facility. The rest of the team continued to Osaka as planned.
A member of the Ugandan Olympic team has tested positive for the coronavirus and has been denied entrance to Japan on Saturday, a mere month before the opening ceremony of the 2021 games.
Prior to boarding the plane to Tokyo, all the team members had all gotten both doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine and according to Maariv, had to show documentation confirming that they tested negative within the last 96 hours before boarding the plane.
Upon their arrival in Japan, the team members were asked to give a saliva sample for an antigen test, Maariv reported. One member's test yielded unclear results and he was asked to perform an additional test with test pen, which is believed to be more precise, the test returned positive.
