Uganda players, officials undergo mandatory Covid-19 test ahead of Dubai trip

A total of 13 players and seven Uganda officials underwent a mandatory test for Covid-19 on Friday in preparation for Sunday's trip to Dubai where they will camp for 10 days.

Coach Johnathan McKinstry had summoned some locally-based players to start preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at home to South Sudan on November 9 before facing them away two weeks later.

The results of the tests conducted will be available on Saturday and those who will be negative will be considered for the Dubai Camp.

All the players and officials are currently in separate rooms for isolation as required and directed by respective authorities until the results are out.
