Gone with 2020 Written by Yudaya Nangonzi

The highly infectious viral disease has killed millions worldwide. Locally as of December 25, 2020, official statistics from the ministry of Health show that at least 245 Ugandans have died from Covid-19 while the cumulative confirmed cases have shot to 33,563 since the disease emerged in the country in March.
