\u201cI\nthank all of you for embracing the measures we announced to control the Corona\nVirus,\u201d said the president before adding that; \u201cAlthough it is too early to\naccurately determine whether we are defeating the virus or not, I have some\ngood news in as far as fighting is concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe\ngood news is that yesterday but one, the 25th of March, 104 returnees from\nDubai or their associates were tested for the virus and they were all negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYesterday,\nthe 26th of March, another 197 people were tested and many of them were\nreturnees from Dubai or other category one countries, only 4 tested positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese\n4 had been under institutional quarantine in the various hotels identified by\nthe sub-committee on quarantine. They have been evacuated to Mulago Hospital\nfor treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\nseems, therefore, that the efforts of identifying by temperature monitoring at\nthe airport, quarantining the people on whom there’s some suspicion and tracing\nthe ones who escaped from the quarantine is working well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFortunately,\nas we can see , many of the people are negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe\nother good news is that the majority of the 14 people who are hospitalized at\nEntebbe, Mulago and Masaka with the virus are responding well to the treatment\nand seem to be improving.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
