DHAKA: Five members of a South African women’s cricket team have become stranded in Bangladesh after testing positive for coronavirus (Covid-19), officials said on Tuesday.
Seventeen other members of the South Africa Emerging team left Bangladesh late on Monday, before the country imposed a ban on international flights over a surge in new cases there.
“The five remaining have been put into isolation in Dhaka,” said Shafiul Alam Nadel of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
“All members of the South African team gave Covid-19 test samples before their departure from Sylhet. Five of them tested positive,” said Himangshu Lal Roy, deputy director of the Osmani Medical College in the northeastern city. The team’s fifth match was due to start on Tuesday in Sylhet.
