Masaka Diocesan authorities have confirmed that Bishop Serverus Jjumba contracted Covid-19 and is currently receiving treatment at Mulago National Referral Hospital.
This comes days after health authorities in Masaka confirmed that six senior catholic priests in the diocese had also contracted the deadly disease.
A source in the diocese told Daily Monitor on Wednesday that Bishop Jjumba was initially rushed to Masaka Regional Referral Hospital before being referred to Mulago.
According to, the Bishop is sick, but he is steadily improving.
“It’s true the Bishop is sick and is currently at Mulago National Referral Hospital, but you shouldn’t cause alarm to the public. As we pray to God, the doctors are also doing everything possible to save his life,” Fr. Ronald Mayanja, the diocese’s communications director said in a telephone interview on Wednesday.
