The new cases were part of 8,223 samples that were tested yesterday for the
disease.
This brings the total number of reported cases in the country
to 25,059, up from 23,860 cases recorded on Monday.
Kampala and Wakiso accounted for the highest number of cases both
contributing almost half of the new cases.
12 COVID-19 deaths were also been recorded. Bringing the total number reported
to date 219. In the last three days, 2,560 new cases have been reported.
Health experts say the rise in numbers should not be very surprising. Dr Monica

yet to be infected. She says by January 2021, the number of infected persons
might be over 40,000.
