KAMPALA – Two staff at the NRM secretariat have tested positive for coronavirus.
In a statement issued by NRM Secretary General Justine Kasule Lumumba, the staff have been admitted to hospital.

We are working with the technical people and further guidance will be given in due course. I urge everyone to stay alert, healthy and safe,” she said on Wednesday.
