The Ministry of Health has said there is no Covid-19 patient admitted to hospital in the country.
\nMr Emmanuel Ainebyoona, the spokesperson for the ministry, however, told Daily Monitor that the risk of Covid-19 is still high.<\/p>\n

\u201c[There are] no admissions at the moment. [But] we still have some people testing positive despite a very negligible positivity rate. We need to remain vigilant owing to the fact that some countries still have lockdowns due to an upsurge of Covid-19 cases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The latest statistics from the Ministry indicate that between April 12 and April 14, a total of 27 cases were reported and the average test positivity rate was at 0.3 percent, which means the pandemic is under control. Any positivity rate under 5 percent signifies control of the pandemic, according to scientists.<\/p>\n

Dr Charles Olaro, the director of clinical services at the Health ministry, last week said there were only two patients with moderate to severe Covid-19 at St Mary\u2019s Hospital Lacor, a private non-profit facility in Gulu. This was a significant decline compared to Covid-19,435 patients, who were in admission on January 16.<\/p>\n

Dr Olaro and other health experts have attributed the decline to the increase in Covid-19 vaccination coverage and the mild Omicron variant.<\/p>\n
