President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni announced that the Minister for Education and Sports and First Lady Janet Museveni, has tested positive for COVID-19.
In a statement released on Thursday afternoon President Museveni revealed that mama Janet is now in isolation, experiencing weakness, constant headaches, and a sore throat.
“After a family lunch on Christmas day, Maama began feeling a sandy sensation in her throat. Although the Rapid Corona test was negative, a subsequent PCR test in Mbarara confirmed her positive status,” President Museveni shared via his official communication channel.
