Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health in Uganda has disclosed that people living in institutional quarantine in the country have started having sex with each other.
In a recent interview on Radio One talk show, Permanent Secretary Diana Atwine revealed that most of the people quarantined at hotels now move to rooms of others to go sleep with themselves, WatchDog Uganda reports.
According to Atwine, the Ministry of Health (MOH) is greatly concerned because the practice is jeopardizing the government’s efforts to curb the spreading of Coronavirus 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.
He added that;
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.
Uganda currently has over 50 cases of Coronavirus.
Meanwhile, there are now more than over 16,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus across Africa, with a number of African countries imposing a range of prevention and containment measures against the spread of the pandemic.
