Kampala Capital City Authority has stated that the number of cases of people contracting the coronavirus has declined according to the rapid diagnostic and PCR tests with number of people testing positive falling by nearly half.

Mr Dennis Wasswa, the KCCA Covid-19 surveillance, monitoring and evaluation officer, said they have registered a decline in the cases in the last three weeks due to strict adherence to the standard 0perating procedures.

“Kampala Central still has the highest number of people testing positive, followed by Kawempe and Makindye. The most affected persons are aged between 30 and 39 followed by those between 20 and 29,” Mr Wasswa said.

While receiving 1,500 litres of fuel from Nile Breweries on Monday, Dr Sarah Zalwango, the KCCA acting manager medical services, said they opened mass testing centres in the Kasokosoko slum and Owino and Nakasero markets  last week.
