KIU, Main Campus - NRM party Secretary General Justine Kasule Lumumba has tested positive for COVID-19 pandemic after seven days of self-isolation, according to Hon Rose Namayanja Nsereko, NRM's National Treasurer, at the party's 15th press briefing.

Namayanja said that, "Our party Secretary General has tested positive for COVID-19 Pandemic and but she is stable with no serious symptoms. The party business however will go on uninterrupted despite her physical absence from office." 

She therefore, appealed to politicians to carry out periodic tests on COVID-19 and open up if found positive to save their would-be contacts from being victimised by their silence.

Currently, according to the Ministry of Health, Uganda has so far registered 22,499 postives cases and 13118 actives cases, with 206 deaths while 9,117 recovered.
