The Uganda Ministry of Health permanent secretary has stated that people living in institutional quarantine in the country have started having sexual intercourse with each other.
As Stated by the WatchDog Uganda, Permanent Secretary Diana Atwine revealed this during a recent interview on Radio One talk show, stating that some of the individuals quarantined at hotels, now move to rooms of others to go sleep with them.
However, she revealed that the Ministry of Health (MOH) is very much concerned because the practice is compromising the government’s efforts to lessen the unfolding of Coronavirus pandemic disease in Uganda.
“Ugandans are not serious. Some who are in quarantine have even begun having (sexual) affairs. They move to rooms of others in the hotels where we have placed them. Others like in Mulago move from their rooms to visit their colleagues who are in other rooms, this is too dangerous and it will distract our efforts,” said Atwiine.
Meanwhile, according to her, this was the reason some people have not been discharged ever since they learnt about this act.
Furthermore, this act was discovered few weeks after the Uganda’s Ministry of Health professed the 17 places to be use as isolation centres and those places include Hotels, Hospitals, lodges, and Universities, where over 232 people are placed under quarantine,
Uganda has confirmed over 50 cases of Coronavirus with 7 recoveries so far
