Statement
Last week, some of our staff at our Kampala branch reported feeling unwell with mild flu like symptoms.
As a precautionary measure, we requested that they be tested. Interim results from Ministry of Health have been received and three (3) of our staff have so far tested positive for Covid-19.
The 3 employees have been referred to Mulago Hospital for further observation and treatment, while the rest of our Kampala branch staff, in line with our safety procedures and Ministry of Health guidelines, have been requested to stay at home under the mandatory 14-days quarantine as the situation continues to be monitored.
In the meantime, our Kampala branch at First Street, Industrial area, will be temporarily closed effective today as additional steps, as guided by the authorities, are put in place and all our staff confirmed in good health.
Strict safety measures and SOP guidelines continue to be followed at our Head office in Namanve Industrial Park as well as the rest of our Countrywide branches, which are open.
Toyota Uganda is working closely with the Ministry of Health to help fight the spread of the Corona virus.
