Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni Tests Negative For COVID-19

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has tested negative for COVID-19 after 11 days of battling the virus.

In a statement on Sunday, Museveni said that he had initially ignored the symptoms of the virus, but after developing a runny nose, he decided to get tested. The results came back positive.

Museveni said that he was then examined by a doctor, who found that he had very low levels of vitamin D and vitamin B12. These conditions, Museveni said, predisposed him to a more severe case of COVID-19.

“Unbelievable! My vitamin D levels were very low, my vitamin B12 were very low etc. Imagine the President of Uganda is malnourished to the detriment of his life,” Museveni said.

Museveni said that he immediately started taking vitamins and that his condition soon improved. He also received the COVID-19 vaccine and a booster shot.

“I immediately started taking the vitamins and soon that front was robust. Then we had the immunization and boosters,” Museveni said.

Museveni said that he is grateful to God for his recovery and that he urges all Ugandans to get vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19.
