“On Christmas day, after a family lunch, Maama Janet started feeling kukarakaatwa (sandy feeling) in the throat. We did a Rapid Corona test, which was negative. However, we sent another sample to Mbarara for PCR test and it came back Positive,” Museveni said in a statement.

He added: “Indeed, Maama was feeling weak, with headache sometimes and with the kukarakaatwa. Immediately, on the 26th morning, I had to carry out a test on myself so that we decided to manage the problem. The tests came back negative by afternoon.”

He said they, therefore, decided for her to self-isolate in one of the houses at Rwakyitura while he continued with the programs that they had arranged “but not ones where Maama was involved”.

“That is why we could not go to Kyenkwanzi or Hon. Kaboyo’s function. I met General Daglo from the Sudan Civil War and today I will meet other guests and the Kiruhuura- Kazo Dairy Farmers on the 2nd of January.”

He added: “What is of interest is how I remained negative despite being with Maama all these days- sharing the room, the air-conditioned car to Entebbe and back to Nakasero. Was it because I am emponoka (survivor) of Corona of last May? Maama is now a first-time corona warrior. She is doing well.”
