The Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) has said they are doing a deeper study on the type of Covid-19 affecting people in the country.
The death rate of the patients in other countries, specifically in Europe, is also high (two deaths per 100 cases).
Dr Lutwama said the UVRI is sequencing the genome of the virus to study this detail.
Dr Bruce Kirenga, the director of Makerere University Lung Institute, said the behavior of Covid-19 in Ugandan patients is very different.
He explained that the type of Covid-19 being treated in Uganda is different from that in other countries with mortality rates of as high as 19 deaths per 1,000 cases.
