1 Mins read

Uganda’s Kyambogo University on Thursday morning went on strike in response to the administration’s decision to suspend in-person learning after eight coronavirus cases were confirmed at the institution.

Vice Chancellor Prof Elly Katunguka said on Thursday that many other students were showing symptoms of Covid-19 but had refused to get tested.

The authorities in Uganda have reported an overall surge in coronavirus infections over the last two weeks.

A government taskforce on the pandemic was scheduled to meet on Thursday to analyse the numbers and may issue more guidelines.

The health ministry has announced the beginning of a second wave, with the confirmed cases now at 44,281 and more than 500,000 people vaccinated.
