By Keefa Nuwahereza
There is untold fear and caution at the Office of the Prime
Minister after Dr Ruhakana Rugunda went into self isolation because some of his
contacts had tested positive for COVID-19.
Rugunda is head of the national task force for
COVID-19 and has been at the forefront on fund raising and distribution efforts
to contain the pandemic.
“Friends, I have gone into self isolation after some
of my contacts tested positive for COVID19. My own test result is negative,
however, I have taken this decision as a health recommended measure,” he said
in a tweet, shortly before news circulated that he had gone in isolation.
Julius Mucunguzi, his Communications Advisor confirmed
the development.
