President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has delegated some of his official duties to the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Robinah Nabbanja, after testing Positive for Covid-19.

The president revealed that after a very useful interactive retreat in Kyankwanzi, he started experiencing mild flu-like symptoms.

“I ignored the feeling and had my meetings in Entebbe as well as working on my voluminous State of the Nation Address. Yesterday morning, however, I noticed some mild flu-like symptoms in one of the nostrils (the right one). That is when I called my doctors to take samples and rule out Corona. They took three samples- one rapid and two PCRs. The rapid one was negative and so was one of the PCRs,” he said.

However, Museveni said one of the PCRs was positive. “Taking precautionary measures, I travelled to Kololo with a separate car from Maama’s car as the samples were taken back for reconfirmation. When I came back from Kololo, it was confirmed that I had Corona.”

He revealed that he is currently, self-isolated at Nakasero State House Lodge.

The president delegated his work for today and tomorrow (Heroes’ Day in Luweero) to Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja.

“As everybody knows, I have been very cautious with Corona. However, recently, I had to give up masks because they have been causing me allergic reactions in the eyes and also in the throat. Do you remember when I lost my voice twice during the elections? That is part of the allergy.”

Museveni revealed that he got the second forced leave in the last 53 years, ever since 1971, when he started fighting Idi Amin.

“One other time was when I had a problem of sinuses and I had to lie low for some days at Mweya,” he said.

Museveni revealed that all is well although he is only experiencing mild symptoms. “However, I always prefer to err on the side of caution and self-isolate for now.”
