  1. This pandamic has now reached to the level of community transmission, so uganda should not risk young future ugandan to lose their lives by resuming school

  2. It is true that covid 19 is within us so we need to take care.we need to follow the given advice. BUT opening schools is of greater risk to our young blood.

  3. I say that this year should be declared a dead year 4 the students . they should jst resume school the following year in their respective classes because we r already half way the year and it will be pointless for them to just study. the syllabus of this year has not been covered so how will u promote them .

  4. Uganda should not worry too much. The daily infections are minimal and without serious symtoms. It looks more and more like another Commonwealth flu Virus

  5. Uganda should not worry too much. The daily infections are minimal and without serious symtoms. It looks more and more like another common flu Virus

  6. Since covid19 is not claiming the lives of people and we have a good number of people recovering , it’s a sign that the body with the current treatment can fight it , suggest to live a normal routine life just as we live with other illnesses for example malaria and flue , but keep the trend of covid19

  7. I am worried of those 5 new cases of Covid 19 from community, they have already infected more that 5000 people and those 5000 are still in the community infecting others so please we need to take cautions, very soon many deaths shall be recorded. We need God’s mercy or else we are doomed.

  8. Well done my fellow health workers
    Regards
