Uganda Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health Diana Atwine says they are worried that the actions will prevent the government’s efforts to control the spread of the disease because these people leave their rooms to making love with other people who they only met in quarantine centres.


“Ugandans are not serious. Some who are in quarantine have even begun having (sexual) affairs. They move to rooms of others in the hotels where we have placed them. Others like in Mulago move from their rooms to visit their colleagues who are in other rooms, this is too dangerous and it will distract our efforts,” said Atwine.


She explained that this was a major reason why some people in quarantine have not been released despite completing the mandatory 14 days.
