Government to Impose Second Lock-Down
News24May 26, 2021

The Ministry of health permanent secretary Dr Diana Atwine has warned that with the rising COVID-19 cases, some areas need to be urgently locked down if the COVID-19 second wave is to be contained.

“It cannot be ruled out because for us life comes first, if the public has refused to take the measures in place, I think a lockdown is a way to go, some areas must be locked down unless people really get to observing SOPs otherwise we shall get overwhelmed,” said Dr Atwine.

Speaking on the morning at NTV, Dr Atwine says they are soon going to engage with the president after thorough consultations with the experts for guidance.

According to Dr Atwine, the second wave is worsening adding that the Intensive Care Units are already full with public hospitals soon running out of space to accommodate patients.

“We are going to get to a level where hospitals must be left to critical patients, right now Entebbe is full, Mulago by yesterday we had 84 and by last evening the number should have increased to 100,” said Dr Atwine.

Atwine says the situation is worrying since the majority of the new infection are from young people.

“Two days ago, we got 187 cases in one day, so I can authoritatively tell you that the second wave of COVID-19 is here. Our ICUs and HDUs are full, we lost six young people in one week so be alert,” added Dr Atwine.

There has been a bitter debate between health workers and parents about the advert about reproductive health services running on TVs and parents think it's misleading while healthworkers think it's necessary. A friend of mine asked me for my opinion, I told him that it's quite hard for me to comment since I am both a parent and a health worker. However, basing on our community values, this I had to say;
But the advert is innapropriate to some age groups. It lacks PG. Since TVs broadcast to the whole family, I am scared that some of our little girls access info that's not meant for them. Secondly s*xuality will seem so obvious that girls only have to worry about pregnancy little knowing that pregnancy is safer than most STDs. That advert should have had the other side of cautioning about HIV, Hepatitis B, Cervical Cancer due to HPV, Gonorrheal, Syphilis and other STDs. Sincerely the advert is misleading. S*x education is a topic everyone of us has to approach carefully....

Start your day with a positive attitude. Good health starts with a positive attitude. Stress affects every body system; the way you think, the way play s*x, the way you talk, the way you reason, the way relate.....
Embrace every day with positivity....

As we approach elections, I would like to remind you that; YOUR LIFE IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN ANYTHING. Please take care of your precious lives as your exercise your right to vote. We love you....

Please, do not visit sick people this season without understanding exactly what they are suffering from....
U may become the next patient...
Be safe
Observe the SOPs
