The ministry of Health on Saturday said eight more people had tested positive for Covid-19, pushing Uganda's virus cases to 694.

The minister will update Ugandans on the Covid-19 response and also clarify on reports of fake virus results allegedly issued by Makerere University laboratory.

President Museveni on Thursday while speaking during the budget reading event, accused Makerere University laboratory that is doing coronavirus testing of faking test results.

Before the President complained about Covid-19 results from Makerere laboratory, Daily Monitor got complaints from some of the "patients" who were affected by the suspected wrong results.

Government in April gave the Makerere University laboratory a nod to start testing for coronavirus following assessment by technocrats from the health ministry.
