Entebbe Grade B Hospital has today afternoon discharged nine people who have fully recovered from COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the hospital’s medical superintendent, Moses Muwanga, nine people have been discharged this afternoon and not ten as earlier communicated because the process of sensitising one recovered patient’s community is still ongoing.
Five of the people discharged are part of the 11 members of the Watoto Church Children’s Choir. The group was confirmed positive on March 31.
The choir had travelled back home from the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada on March 20, 2020. On arrival, they were put under quarantine by the Ministry of Health before testing positive and they were immediately isolated and taken for treatment.
The total number of recoveries in Uganda has now risen to 37. The number of active COVID-19 cases is now 18. No COVID-19 death has been recorded in Uganda yet.
