With the aim of commencing preparations for the impending World Cup Qualifiers and Gold Cup Playoffs, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has begun testing several national team players and staff for the Covid-19 virus.
This was disclosed by a source close to the federation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. According to the source, several players and members of the management staff completed their tests yesterday at the Herstelling Clinic, East Bank Demerara after they were initially contacted by the team manager about arranging the appointments.
The source disclosed, “The team manager contacted several players about scheduling appointments at the Herstelling Clinic so that the players can go and take the Covid-19 test because training is expected to resume shortly. I am not sure of the exact number or how many players were asked to test for the virus, which will be done for some players at the Herstelling Clinic and at different scheduled periods. A clinic on the East Coast of Demerara is supposed to be utilized as well.”
