The Ministry of Health on Tuesday said they had recorded 31 new cases of Covid-19 as the country's tally rose to 253.
Of the new cases, 23 are from the points of entry while eight are contacts to previously confirmed truck drivers.
Relatedly, 20 foreign truck drivers (16 Tanzanians and 4 Kenyans) were handed over to their respective country of origin after testing positive for the virus.
Uganda revised its cases downwards following President Museveni's directive to block foreign truck drivers who test positive for the virus.
The president said any foreign trucker who tests positive for the virus at border point should be handed over to their country of origin as one of the ways to mitigate the risk of spreading the virus to the community.
