The Ugandan Government has revealed that citizens in
COVID-19 quarantine centres were having s3x with each other.
The Ministry of Health said this was against the social
distance measures and could cause spread of the disease among those already at
risk.
Watchdog Uganda reports that Permanent Secretary, Diana
Atwine, made the disclosure on Radio One talk show.
She lamented how some people were jeopardizing the
government’s efforts to forestall an increase in the number of isolated persons
which is currently 232.
Atwine said the accused persons go out of their rooms and
have romance with others 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 Atwiine.
The official explained that this was the reason patients in
isolation have not been released.
The ministry has given 14 days to the those identified to
remain in quarantine so that they keep them from spreading the virus.
Additional, security officers have been deployed to limit
movements within the facilities.
In March, the Ministry of Health gazetted 17 places to be
used as isolation centres for those undergoing mandatory quarantine.
They include hotels, hospitals, lodges and universities.
In Nigeria, the country’s Center for Disease Control, NCDC,
says the number of coronavirus cases has risen to 373.
