President Museveni had revealed that he is going to put up more measures that will stop the spread of Covid-19.
This comes after the Ministry of Health last night announced five more cases to make it 23.
“We may have to take additional drastic measures. I will keep you informed,” he said.
Museveni however reveals that the new cases had already interacted with the people in the population. He adds that medical teams are tracing their contacts.
“However, the worry is that the people who are positive had circulated in the population,” he said.
He however expressed optimism that despite having many people who returned from Dubai and other countries abroad, a big number of them have tested negative.
“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,” he said.
The President has already closed schools, Churches and other social gatherings to stop the spread of the coronavirus. He also closed borders, the airport and banned public transport as well as roadside markets.
“It is wise that we temporary remove these concentration points to prevent the spread of coronavirus. All these institutions, without exception should close so that we deny this virus high concentration. We don’t want the virus to find dry grass ready for ignition,” the president said.
The remaining option is close offices and announce a total lockdown.
