A total of 2,494 samples were tested nationwide, including 1,515 samples from border truck drivers, 949 samples from alerts and contacts, and 30 samples from leading health workers.

“The results of the samples tested on June 06, 2020, confirm 23 new COVID-19 cases.

As of today, there have been a total of 616 cases of COVID-19 reported in Uganda, of which 96 have been discharged after full recovery from the coronavirus, and none have died of the virus.

Meanwhile, health experts across the country have warned that in the weeks following Uganda’s extravagance among its locals, the COVID-19 cases could escalate rapidly after the lockdown was relaxed.

As the deadly coronavirus continues to spread throughout the country, with at least double-digit figures confirmed every day, Uganda may soon join their East African counterparts in Kenya and Tanzania, where they have registered relatively few infections.

Health experts across the country are already predicting that COVID-19 infections will increase following the loosening of the lockdown.

Uganda was one of the few countries worldwide to impose draconian measures before a case could be confirmed. The first proceedings were confirmed on March 18, three days after the country’s first COVID-19 case.

Earlier, Dr Diana Atwine, Permanent Secretary to the Ministry of Health, noted that a large number of individuals have disregarded measures and guidelines for preventing the spread of the virus following dehydration.

Many no longer wash their hands with soap, others do not maintain social distance as before, and others decide to wear masks instead of wearing them properly.
