President Yoweri Museveni has delegated Prime Minister, Robinah Nabanjja to officiate at the national Heroes’ Day celebrations happening in Luwero on Friday.
President is in self-isolated at Nakasero having tested positive for Covid-19.
Through his Twitter handle, Museveni first congratulated the security forces for blocking all the terrorist activities and ensuring that the huge celebrations took place “without incident in spite of the terrorists operating in Congo, South Sudan, Somalia, Mozambique.”
He revealed that after the interactive retreat in Kyenkwanzi, he was immersed in the activities in Kampala before he started experiencing Covid symptoms.
Museveni in a separate car with his wife, Janet Museveni traveled to Kololo for the State of the Nation address as he was waiting for the confirmation of samples.
President Museveni said,”Greetings. It is now day 3 in my Corona status. Yesterday, day 2 of my corona status, I felt very sleepy around 11am (the fifth hour of the day according to we, the People of the Tropics), yet I had slept well the previous night.
Hence, I slept soundly up to the ninth hour of the day (3PM according to the People of the Temperate lands). When I woke up, I was fresh and I wrote a short speech for the Rt. Hon. Nabbanja to give in Luwero today.
I sent Nabbanja to Luwero because the VP, Alupo, is representing us in Lusaka- COMESA summit. I slept at the fourth hour of the night, which the Europeans call 10PM and woke up at the 9th hour of the night (Shaaha mweenda z’ekiro) with a slight vague headache.
I call it vague because it was not obwaabe (temples headache), it was not oruhora-hoore (the crown of the head) headache and it was not around the engata (the ring) of the head.
When I sat up and drank more water as advised by my daughter Patience Kokundeeka, the headache went away and I slept again.
According to my longtime doctor, Diana Atwiine, this is a mild case and should be managed conservatively by using vitamin C, other vitamins, especially –D and some anti-histamines.
“What are the other cases described as?” I asked Dr. Atwiine. The other cases could be described as: moderate or severe. These according to her, need different interventions.
When Atwiine announced my corona-status the other day, I am the one who told her to do it. I was still busy with other issues.
I will wait for two more days and do the test again. It seems immunization and the boosters for the immunization, do help.
I will keep you informed. Let everybody be fully vaccinated and for the elderly get boosters.
Happy Heroes Day celebrations.

Yoweri K. Museveni
