At least six people, including a Chinese national, who previously tested positive for COVID-19 were Sunday discharged by Mulago National Referral Hospital after recovery.
The Ministry of Health Senior Public Relations officer, Mr Emmanuel Ainebyoona said those discharged include three males and three females.
“The two Chinese nationals who previously tested positive are among those who have since been discharged by Mulago Hospital after recovery. One was discharged earlier this week and another one today. They have been handed over to their embassy,” Mr Ainebyoona said on Sunday.
Ainebyona says that another two patients were discharged on Saturday, which now brings the total number of recoveries to 28, within a space of one week. The first group of recovered COVID-19 patients, including the index case, was discharged last Saturday from Entebbe hospital.
Uganda has 55 confirmed cases of the deadly pandemic out of whom 28 have recovered, 27 are active cases and no deaths.
All the 1,126 samples tested on Saturday turned out negative.
