The Proteas players have all returned negative Covid-19 results after three separate tests at their managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facility in New Zealand.
The SA team arrived in New Zealand last Friday and they are currently on day seven of stringent quarantine that has been imposed by the government as the country tries to deal with a recent surge in infections.
“We have had isolation in Pakistan and the West Indies which wasn’t too long but in New Zealand it is ten days and it is a long time for us. I think we are on day six or seven at the moment and this one is very strict.” “There is still no mingling among the players at the hotel, we are still confined to our rooms and with that it is a little bit tougher for the guys but we do have the luxury to go and use their gym facilities in the morning.
