Mr Alex Esagala, a photojournalist at Daily Monitor, tested positive for Covid-19 on December 6, but was advised by the doctor to take home-based care until he recovers.
Mr Esagala said his sickness started three days after he returned from covering the political campaigns of FDC presidential candidate Patrick Oboi Amuriat in Acholi, Lango and West Nile sub-regions last month.
“I was feeling well when I returned to Kampala and spent two days resting at home. On the third day, which was a Friday, I went to office,” he narrates.
