Bafana Bafana are taking precautions to avoid any threat of the global coronavirus epidemic travelling to their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sao Tome and Principe this month‚ including the use of a direct charter flight.
National team doctor Thulani Ngwenya has also taken precautions regarding the four foreign-based players arriving in camp‚ including two from France where there have been more than 2‚200 cases of covid-19 and close to 50 deaths.
“That is also why we have organised a charter flight. One of the reasons for that is because of corona. Ngwenya said some precautions will be taken to monitor Bafana’s four foreign-based players – Thulani Serero of Al Jazira in United Arab Emirates‚ Percy Tau of Club Brugges in Belgium and the France-based duo of Lebogang Phiri of Guingamp and Lebogang Mothiba of Strasbourg.
“I’ve been in communication with their clubs’ medical staff in France and at the moment we are good‚” the doctor said of Phiri and Mothiba.
