  • share

Uganda on Friday started mandatory Covid-19 testing for ministers after staffers in the prime minister’s office tested positive, the health ministry confirmed.

Prime Minister Dr Ruhakana Rugunda said he was self-isolating despite testing negative for the virus.

My own test result is negative, however, I have taken this decision as a health recommended measure,” tweeted Dr Ruhakana on Friday.

The cabinet ministers will also undergo a second testing after 14, according to Emmanuel Ainebyona, a Health Ministry spokesman.

The country has not recorded any death to Covid-19 while recoveries stand at 82, according to the Health Ministry.
