A forty-nine-year-old female resident of Wakiso is the latest victim in Uganda to succumb to the disease of COVID19.

Ministry of Health recorded this death on 8th August 2020. According to Henry Mwebesa, the Director-general health services at the Ministry, “the deceased was HIV positive and on active Antiretroviral therapy. She had a history of Tuberculosis and asthma. These are very high-risk factors for the deadly COVID-19.”

The woman, a Ugandan national, presented signs and symptoms of COVID-19 while at a private health facility in Wakiso that included high fever, chest pains, and difficulty in breathing.

Upon admission, the attending medical personnel suspected COVID-19 and hastily informed the Ministry of Health that quickly came and derived the patient’s samples. The samples were taken to the laboratory and came back positive for the SARS-COV-2.

The Ministry in a bid to take on preventative measures has so far listed over 35 contacts that the deceased may have interacted with or made contact with. The Ministry of Health further urges the general public to call the toll-free line 0800 -100 -066 or 0800 – 203 – 033 to report any suspected cases of COVID-19
