Uganda has registered 14 deaths in just one day, according to data released on June 9, bringing the total number of deaths to 402.

This is the highest number of Covid-19 deaths registered as of last evening.

Ministry of Health data shows the country had by Friday morning cumulatively recorded 56,949 Covid-19 cases with at least 784 patients admitted to hospitals across the country.

From June 1 to June 10, a total of 38 Covid-19 deaths were registered and over 8,273 confirmed new cases.

However, health experts have urged the public to observe Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to avert the spread of the pandemic as most health facilities are full to capacity.
