Mr. Kabuye is a teacher. He returned to teaching when schools opened for candidate classes. He recently felt general body weakness and later developed dry cough, a sore throat, chest pain and high body temperature. He was rushed to the nearest health facility and the health workers offered supportive treatment as they sent his sample for COVID-19 testing. After further examination, the health workers also found that Kabuye was diabetic. His conditions unfortunately worsened and he got difficulty in breathing, but all the oxygen machines were

being used to support COVID-19 patients already admitted in the health facility. He later passed on in an ambulance as the health workers tried to transfer him to a facility with life support. The results from his sample that was earlier been taken for COVID-19 testing indicated that he was infected with COVID-19.
