KAMPALA - 22 MAR 2020Uganda confirms first coronavirus case

Uganda has confirmed first coronavirus case, Reuters reported on Saturday.

The agency reported that Uganda’s Health Minister Jane Ruth Aceng has confirmed the first coronavirus case in a 36-year-old Ugandan male who arrived from Dubai on Saturday aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight.

“The ministry would like to inform the general public that Uganda has confirmed her first case of coronavirus disease COVID-19,” Aceng said in a statement broadcast on state television.

Aceng said the patient travelled to Dubai four days ago for a business trip and all the other passengers who travelled with the patient on the same flight are under quarantine and have so far tested negative.

The report comes barely hours after Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni announced that no passenger planes would be allowed to enter or leave the country. He said that only cargo planes or those involved in relief work will be allowed into or out of the country effective Sunday.....:tiphat:https://radiotamazuj.org/en/news/art...ronavirus-case
