Rose Byabasaija, the chairperson of the district COVID-19 task force says that the move follows a request by the Ministry of Health to identify a structure where COVID-19 patients can be hosted when the numbers escalate. Uganda has cumulatively recorded 889 cases of COVID-19, the latest of which were picked from communities.
The four are said to have entered the country through the porous border points of Lake Albert on May 30, 2020. They were sighted by residents who immediately alerted security and health officials who later picked them from Kijangi Landing Site in Tonya parish Buseruka sub-county.
