WatchDog Uganda, Permanent Secretary Diana Atwine spoke about this during a recent interview on Radio One talk show, saying that the Coronavirus patients who are being held on quarantine in Ugandan hotels now move to rooms of others to go sleep with themselves.
She said the Ministry of Health (MOH) is greatly concerned because the practice is jeopardizing the government’s efforts to curb the spreading of Coronavirus in Uganda.
“Ugandans are not serious. Some who are in quarantine have even begun having (sexual) affairs. They move to rooms of others in the hotels where we have placed them.Others like in Mulago move from their rooms to visit their colleagues who are in other rooms, this is too dangerous and it will distract our efforts,” said Atwiine.
This is why we are finding it difficult releasing the patients, because their reoccuring orgies are complicating our measures to curb the coronavirus menance.
The discovery comes weeks after the country’s Ministry of Health announced 17 places to be used as isolation centres. The places include Hotels, Hospitals, lodges, and Universities, where over 232 people are placed under quarantine
Uganda has over 50 cases of Coronavirus with 7 recoveries.
