The symptoms are more mild than yesterday. In the night, slight throbbing (enkuratima) in the ruhoorahoore area of the head. This is the part of the head that has a gap in children. Also, some slight roughness on the throat,\u201d the President wrote on his Twitter handle.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cOtherwise, I am even tempted to do my push-ups, but common sense reminds me not to disturb the bio-chemistry of the body where the war with the enemy (the virus) is going on with additional strains on the body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned his NRM cadres and followers to continue to understand the importance of robust health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always avoid factors that can cause ill-health, not because I fear being sick but because I detest missing the struggle for Africa\u2019s freedom,\u201d Mr Museveni said<\/p>\n<p>The President added that he was not bedridden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c&#8230; I missed Heroes Day yesterday (Friday), where our daughter [Robinah] Nabbanja [the Prime Minister] did a great job; I could not meet the guests I had invited from UAE (United Arab Emirates) and I have cancelled my plan to go to Kisozi tomorrow to supervise the half-yearly de-worming of my cattle,\u201d he twitted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, health is not only wealth but also part of the weapons of the struggle.
