Presidency; Hon. Babirye Milly Babalanda is under quarantine
having been in contact with a COVID-19 Patient,” reads the statement in part.

To her fellow Ministers participating in the swearing in event, Babalanda wished them well and promised to join them later.

She concluded by inviting the public to join the President’s efforts in the fight against the COVID19 pandemic which she said is “a real threat now.”
