"I was one of those people that thought COVID-19 was not real. I lived life like usual till I caught the virus about a month ago. Woah! It wasn’t fun! I didn’t want to share that info for fear of the stigma but I think it’ll help those living carelessly to know that Covid is real,” this was Martha Kay's tweet on Wednesday.
The social media influencer, model, photographer and actress, real name Martha Kagimba, took to her social media to announce how she had been undergoing treatment for the much dreaded virus which has infected thousands of Ugandan and left hundreds dead.
Martha’s confession came hours before the Ministry of Health Wednesday said they had registered 489 new Covid-19 infections as confirmed cases rose to 32,399.
The ministry officials further said virus fatalities had reached 245 with seven more Covid-19 deaths in 24 hours.
Dear reader, please wear your mask, sanitize, avoid crowds and stop being a 'doubting Thomas', lest you'll end up like Martha Kay.
