Ugandan Olympian tests positive for virus upon arrival in Japan, the first detection as athletes head to Tokyo

“We have no way to know how far the virus has spread in Uganda because of the low testing capacity in the country,” Mercy Corps, a Seattle-based humanitarian NGO, said in a statement. “The health systems are overwhelmed, and sooner or later, there will be no space or adequate health care staff to admit severely ill patients who need emergency and critical care services. It’s a ticking time bomb.”
