@Watson_Okoth @geoffreyyork Thanks Watson. It's this type of Citizen reporting that can really help in understanding the nuauces beyond the screaming headlines.

[Oluwatosin @afyalafia]

@geoffreyyork @Watson_Okoth Rather than splitting heads. Watson , as a Ugandan, can you help confirm if the borders are "open". I have also read elsewhere that they are closed.

[Oluwatosin @afyalafia]

@MedExplained101 @BNOFeed The contacts is an important determinant of how the epidemic will evolve. The new cases with symptoms requiring testing will emerge from the contacts.
Unfortunately , it is not included in these reports.

[Oluwatosin @afyalafia]

@FNyadimu I pray not. For 1 case is an epidemic requiring contact tracing and follow up of 21 days for each contact
