Hello DU Study Abroad Blog,

This may or may not catch you by surprise, but I caught Covid. I tested positive last Saturday after feeling horrible for 2 days. For the protection of those at my internship and for my better health, I had to return to the city to quarantine in a more secluded place where I had more access to care. I spent my week quarantining in my room until I tested negative for Covid. Since I am back in the city, I have taken this as a chance for me to hang with my classmates amidst all our busy internships. The city has become quite festive considering it’s Christmas season already. I’ll be returning back to the village this Sunday once I’m proven fully recovered. 

Best,

Namugga Nakayiza
