After waiting for five years, Lucia finally had a baby boy. She was so excited about it that she went for antenatal care immediately and did not miss a single appointment. One thing she learnt was that she should give her baby breastmilk alone in the first 6 months.
Being a first-time mother and having waited for so long to have her baby, Lucia was determined to follow all the advice from hospital including the advice to give her baby breast milk alone in the first 6 months.
However, when the baby was around two months Lucia started getting stressed because she felt like she did not have enough breastmilk to satisfy her crying baby.
Lucia was a trader in a competitive produce business and on a daily, Lucia used to wake up at 6am to go to the garden or to the market to pick supplies for her shop even after sleepless nights because of the crying baby. Her husband would also leave home very early and she was forced to leave the baby behind with her 12-year-old babysitter.
Lucia would return home to cook, wash and find something small for self to eat around midday.
Due to COVID19, business was not so good, Lucia had to keep working harder and harder and so was forced to maintain this routine. Lucia’s breastmilk kept reducing and eventually she could not take the stress of her baby crying because of hunger. Also, her mother told her it was ok to give soups at three months because the baby was already expressing interest in other foods.
So, she decided to start giving her baby boy soups, diluted cow milk and porridge at 3 and half months even though she had really wanted to follow the advice to give breastmilk alone because of its rich benefits.

Mary received the news of her new baby with so much happiness and because the family was very excited about the baby, it was proposed that Mary stays with her mother-in-law so that she gets adequate care.
During her stay, Mary was advised by the many visitors who came to visit.
Some advised her to give some drinking water to the baby, others told her not to breastfeed because she would get sagging breasts and as a new mother this confused her a lot and she needs advise on how to keep her baby healthy.

Mrs. Mwesigye operates a shop in Makindye.
She lives with her husband and 2 children, a daughter and son aged 18 and 20 years respectively. Last week, she realized she had general body weakness, headache, diarrhea and dry cough which had lasted for two days. Mrs. Mwesigye decided to take a COVID-19 test, and it turned out positive. She was not very sick so the health worker gave her supportive treatment and told her to go home and self-isolate from the other family members until the symptoms resolve.
Mrs. Mwesigye went home and due to fear of stigma, she feared to disclose to her family that she tested positive for COVID-19. However, due to continued pressure from her family about the test results, she disclosed to her husband. The husband could not contain the news. He panicked and told her that even if their house had a free room where she could isolate, he could not allow her to stay with the family.
She pleaded with him and explained how she would isolate herself with only one person supporting her to access necessities but in Vain. Mr. Mwesigye insisted that she should take her Corona away.
Mrs. Mwesigye’s parents are in advanced age and at a greater risk of adverse COVID-19 disease effects so she couldn’t go to her parent’s house. Therefore, she requested one of her brothers to accept her to isolate herself at his home. Fortunately, the brother accepted.
At her brother’s house, she was supported to take her treatment in isolation and 13 days later, she had completely recovered from all the symptoms. Trying to return to her home, Mr. Mwesigye told her that she should stay away because he thought that she could still infect them.

Mrs. Kasaija is a business woman. She operates a stall in Ntinda New Market. Last Saturday, she returned home after her normal routine days and in the morning, she felt general body weakness, but thought it was due to a tiresome day she had on Friday.
She never wanted to miss the weekend shoppers, so she bought Panadol and took it and decided to go to work. She spent the day and came back home but during Sunday night, she developed fever, dry couch, and a sore throat.
She prepared a concoction and took it that night and she was able to sleep.
On Monday, she still felts the cough, and dry throat but she thought it was just flu. She went back to work but later in the day, she developed chest pain and high body temperature.
She called her daughter to take care of the stall and went back home. On her way home she passed a nearby drug shop and asked for Malaria treatment and took some of it after reaching home. A day after she could not get off her bed and had breathing difficulties.
She was rushed to the regional referral hospital while she was very weak.
At the hospital, they took a sample from her for further investigation as well as assessed her oxygen levels since she already had difficulty in breathing.
They realized that her oxygen level was already too low and required to be directly cared for in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Unfortunately, the only four ICU beds available at the referral hospital were already serving four patients who arrived earlier and had progressed from oxygen support to ICU.
The medical workers put her on oxygen to try to save her life because they were informed that all other ICUs in all other hospitals were full, unfortunately, she breathed her last within an hour.
Mr. Kabuye is a teacher. He returned to teaching when schools opened for candidate classes.
He recently felt general body weakness and later developed dry cough, a sore throat, chest pain and high body temperature. He was rushed to the nearest health facility and the health workers offered supportive treatment as they sent his sample for COVID-19 testing.
After further examination, the health workers also found that Kabuye was diabetic. His conditions unfortunately worsened and he got difficulty in breathing, but all the oxygen machines were being used to support COVID-19 patients already admitted in the health facility.
He later passed on in an ambulance as the health workers tried to transfer him to a facility with life support. The results from his sample that was earlier been taken for COVID-19 testing indicated that he was infected with COVID-19.
