By Website Writer; It’s now close to a week ever since H.E YK Museveni was reported COVID-19 positive.
In a statement released by State House Uganda last week, it was revealed that President had contracted Covid-19 hence sending him into self-isolation.
“President Kaguta Museveni has tested positive for COVID-19 and has commenced self-isolation,” State House said.
He was also reported to have taken his first-ever sick leave to isolate himself at Nakasero State House.
“President Museveni is not here for the next few days as he takes leave to self-isolate at Nakasero after testing positive for COVID-19. This is the very first time he will be away on sick leave.”
This had since sparked panic in the public until on Sunday when he came out to open up on his illness status.
Taking it on his social media platforms, President Museveni gave status of his Covid-19 illness, 5days into self-isolation.

Ugandans and, especially the Bazzukulu.
Greetings. It is now day 5 of my corona-status. Last night, I slept very well up to the 10th hour of the night (saa kumi za usiku –what the Europeans call 4am). This time, the dull headache was not there, nor was the mild throbbing (enkuratima) on top of the head (oruhoora-hoore).
Initially, on Wednesday, there was also some mild muscle soreness (kutonekara), typical of the usual flu. The soreness I was feeling on Wednesday was less than one would feel with the usual flu. That soreness of muscles, has now gone. Also, some roughness (obugiimbi) on the throat, has gone.
However, we carried out corona tests today and they were still positive. We shall wait for a few more days and check again. I remain in self-isolation at Nakasero.
Sit back and follow us for more updates!
