Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni admitted that he was infuriated when he heard of the two coronavirus positive cases that were detected in Team Uganda\u2019s first batch to the Tokyo Games.Boxing coach Patrick Lihanda was last month isolated on arrival in Tokyo after testing positive for the respiratory disease, leaving the President irked. \u201cI was very harsh with the minister of state for sports (Hamson Obua) when I heard that my children had taken corona to Japan,\u201d he said during Team Uganda\u2019s flag-off at Kololo on Friday. \u201cI\u2019ve been quarantined for one-and-a-half years. I\u2019ve not been to Rwakitura or Gomba. I\u2019ve not gone for burials. Therefore, you are now in strict quarantine,\u201d Museveni told the athletes.<\/p>\n

\u2018Don\u2019t cause us embarrassment\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

The President warned the contingent against embarrassing the nation, saying the virus was not the problem but people who carry it.\u201cIt is carried by people who don\u2019t follow the guidelines. Stop this business of going to see this aunt,\u201d Museveni said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you are vaccinated, you can be infected. Don\u2019t cause us more embarrassment.\u201dThe group in Kololo had travelled under strict rules for the event from a bio-bubble camp in Kapchorwa in which they have spent two weeks. \u201cWe\u2019ve been testing them every day, these are things that they are already getting used to, being in a bubble, being restricted, not visiting the relatives,\u201d said Beatrice Ayikoru, chef de mission.Steeplechaser Peruth Chemutai, women\u2019s 5000m runners Sarah Chelangat, Prisca Chemweno and Esther Chebet, as well as sprinter Shida Leni leave for Tateshina tomorrow, Ayikoru said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
