The Tororo district local government headquarters has been thrown into panic and declared a no-go area after some senior staff tested positive for COVID-19.

Upon receiving information, some staff abandoned their duty stations immediately leaving their personal belongings behind.

As a measure for prevention of further spread, management has decided to close the district headquarters for two days starting Thursday to allow for disinfecting of all the offices and mandatory testing for all contacts.

"All meetings, appointments, engagements are therefore suspended with immediate effect, business shall resume normally next week November 2, 2020.

For more information on the matter, the public is advised to contact the Chief Administrative officer, District Chairperson, and the RDC," read the notice at the gate.

The closure comes after a number of medical officers at Tororo General Hospital including the medical superintendent Dr Thomas Ochar were placed in quarantine after they tested positive for COVID-19.
