Dr. Edward Mwesigye, the District Health Officer for Bushenyi district has urged students from Kampala International University to “protect themselves at all times”, as the number of people infected with COVID-19 in the country continues to rise.

Dr. Mwesigye made this call while visiting the Kampala International University Teaching Hospital’s COVID-19 emergency centre on Monday 30th, March 2020, to pay a courtesy call to the hospital’s focal person for Coronavirus, Dr. Sam Kyalema.

“Students should take their lives as a priority and adhere to the Presidential directive and Ministry of Health guidelines to combat COVID-19,” Dr. Mwesigye said.

“They should also exercise infection prevention and control and watch out for any high-risk persons and report them immediately,” he added.
