Uganda's Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda has gone into self-isolation after some of his contacts tested positive for coronavirus.

Local journalists say cabinet members are being tested for the virus.

Mr Rugunda made the announcement on Twitter:

Friends, I have gone into self isolation after some of my contacts tested positive for #COVID19. My own test result is negative, however, I have taken this decision as a health recommended measure. #StaySafeUG
