Uganda has once again confirmed five new coronavirus cases, bringing the total number of the infected people to 23.
This has been confirmed by President Yoweri Museveni on Saturday morning.
“227 returnees from Dubai and other places were tested, 5 were positive. This brings the number to 23 who are positive by last (Friday) evening,” the President said on his official social media platforms.
“Although the number is growing, I am still happy to see that the majority of returnees are negative which means they don’t have the virus.”
Mr Museveni however, expressed worry that some people who are positive have already circulated in the population.
” Nevertheless, the medical teams will trace all the contacts and check on them.
We may have to take additional drastic measures. I will keep you informed.”
