1 Mins read

The Ministry of Health surveillance teams yesterday, Friday 13th March 2020 received an alert from Royal Complex of a lady suspected to have COVID-19 infection.

The alert was raised by workers at the premise who indicated that the lady had remained locked in her room for about one week without coming out.

Contrary to the various social media posts that have been circulating, the Ministry of Health would like to clarify that our teams used a vehicle and ambulance belonging to Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) to approach the said premises.

Upon reaching the said room, a lady occupant revealed that she was undergoing self-quarantine as any other person who has just returned from the flagged high risk countries with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The team’s assessment found out this lady had no signs and symptoms but recommended she completes her period of self-quarantine. They will continue monitoring her until when she gets a certificate of completing Self-quarantine.

The Infectious Diseases Institute has since reiterated that it didn’t evacuate any suspected patient from downtown, Kampala

The Ministry of Health has not registered any case of COVID-19.

Let’s remain vigilant and   calm but refrain from spreading false rumours.
