Following the pronouncement of the corona virus in Uganda by the ministry of health, a team of Doctors from the UPDF, recently trained by the ministry of health were dispatched to Entebbe International Airport grade B hospital and hotels where isolated or quarantined people are being monitored for the likelihood of having the virus.
Dr Capt Kyitahimbwa of Air Force and Dr Capt Magoba of SFC have been tasked to oversee all quarantine centers in Kampala and Entebbe areas to ensure compliance with the already given guidelines.
Hotels in Entebbe where isolated cases are held include Protea, Imperial Botanical, Central Inn, Mission Hotel among others. In Kampala they include Arch apartments, Emin Pasha Hotel, Protea and others.
Dr Atwine, the permanent secretary ministry of health is
quoted to have said,
“When it is time to listen, alert Ugandans should listen. When it is time
to act they should act instead of spending more time talking they should
implement. Countries that delayed to act are having greater challenges”.
She therefore called upon Ugandans to change behavior and adhere to the guidelines.
