Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni says he was still self-isolating, following rumours that he had died after contracting covid-19.
Museveni tested positive for the virus on 7 June and said the following day that he was taking forced leave.
However, in a post last night, Museveni urged Ugandans to go for covid vaccination and booster shots, especially for the elderly.
Rumours have emerged on twitter over the past few days that Museveni had been transferred to intensive care and later died from covid complications.
The world health organization declared last month that covid was officially no longer a global health emergency, but warned that the virus would continue mutating.
