MASINDI - Patients and staff at Masindi Hospital are in fear after two senior staff tested positive for COVID-19.

Patrick Baguma, the Masindi district health officer, said out of the 19 samples which were taken last week, six returned positive.

"These are the people who have been saving our lives. The health workers are still in self-isolation waiting to be evacuated," Baguma said.

"I am worried about the community transmissions in Masindi district. But I am calling upon the residents to continue observing the preventive measures," he appealed.

Baguma added that although senior health staff have tested positive, the hospital will not be closed and encouraged the people in the district to continue going to the hospital for health services.
