Posted on by Ozymandias

Yoweri Museveni, the president of Uganda, claims that eleven days after contracting the virus on June 7, he has finally tested negative for Covid-19.

After a string of positive tests throughout the course of the day, Museveni stated in a statement on Sunday that the virus was no longer present in his body system.

“On the war with corona, it is now confirmed that I am a veteran graduate of the war with that enemy. Today, the samples showed that I had turned negative vis a vis corona. Even the samples of Wednesday last, had showed reduced presence of the virus parts. The Glory goes to God,”

The President provided a timeline of his battle with the virus, noting that he first disregarded symptoms until he started to acquire a running nose.

He claimed that after being examined by his doctor, it was discovered that he had extremely low levels of vitamin D, a condition that made him vulnerable to a serious Covid-19 infection.

“Unbelievable! My Vitamin D levels were very low, my Vitamin B 12 were very low etc. Imagine the President of Uganda is malnourished to the detriment of his life. I immediately started taking the vitamins and soon that front was robust. Then we had the immunization and boosters,” Museveni added.

The President urged health administrators in the nation to concentrate on promoting illness prevention rather than waiting for people to become ill so they may provide curative care after acknowledging that his situation bordered on neglect in the management of his own personal health.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni Recovering After Testing Positive For COVID-19

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has tested positive for COVID-19, but he is in good health and is self-isolating at his home in Nakasero.

Museveni, 78, announced his diagnosis on Twitter on Monday, saying that he had been experiencing mild symptoms, including a headache and a sore throat. He said that he had tested positive for the virus after taking a PCR test.

“I am in good health and I am isolating myself at home,” Museveni said. “I am taking medication and I am feeling much better.”

Museveni’s announcement came a day after reports on social media claimed that he had been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in Kampala. These reports were later debunked by the Ugandan government.

“The President is in good health and he is self-isolating at his home,” said a statement from the government. “There is no need for alarm.”

Museveni is the second African head of state to test positive for COVID-19 in recent weeks. In May, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta tested positive for the virus and was subsequently hospitalized. Kenyatta has since recovered and returned to work.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that Africa is facing a “rapid and concerning” surge in COVID-19 cases. The continent has recorded over 10 million cases and over 200,000 deaths from the virus.

The WHO has urged African countries to step up their vaccination efforts and to implement public health measures, such as social distancing and mask-wearing, to slow the spread of the virus.
