The World Health Organisation representative and head of mission to Uganda Dr Yonas Tegegn Woldemariam have confirmed that he tested negative for COVID-19.
Speaking in an interview, he said he had not been admitted to the hospital as it has been alleged by some people.
In his tweet Dr. Tegegn said:
“I’d like to clarify a few false rumors about me being admitted after allegedly testing positive for #COVID19.
I did test and my results returned negative.
However, I’d like to call upon all of us to avoid spreading false information and avoid stigma due to #COVID19 #StaySafe”
