7 discharged as Uganda’s COVID-19 recoveries rise to 45
Dr Rosemary Byanyima (L), the deputy director of Mulago Hospital, hands over a discharge letter to one of the people who recovered from COVID-19.
Mulago national referral hospital and Entebbe regional referral hospital on Wednesday discharged seven people who have recovered from COVID-19, bringing Uganda’s number of patients who have recovered from the virus to 45.
So far, 20 people have recovered from the virus at Mulago hospital. Only three COVID-19 patients are currently undergoing treatment at the hospital, according to Mr Emmanuel Ainebyoona, the Ministry of Health spokesman.
The director of Entebbe Hospital, Dr Moses Muwanga, said four more people who previously tested positive for coronavirus have recovered and were discharged Wednesday after testing negative.
This implies that Uganda which had, by April 22, registered 61 COVID-19 since the pandemic broke out, has 16 active cases.
