Uganda’s health ministry says more than 100 people remain in quarantine as a preventative measure against the possible spread of coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uganda has not recorded any suspected cases of the virus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ministry announced on Wednesday that those affected had arrived from China through the Entebbe International Airport and included 44 Chinese nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will be monitored for 14 days by surveillance officers, Health Minister Dr Jane Ruth Aceng said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some are quarantined at two hospitals in Entebbe and the capital, Kampala, while others have been asked to stay home as health officials continue to monitor them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a significant amount of travel and trade between China and Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The health ministry says it has stepped up checks at all major entry points into the country, though flights to and from China have not yet been cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials say they do not have any evacuation plans for Ugandans living in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some 70 Ugandan students have been confirmed to be living in China’s Wuhan city, the epicentre of the outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
