Researcher on SARS-CoV-2 genomic diversity and transmission dynamics in East Africa
The study utilised genomic sequences from the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) repository. Bayesian Phylogeography methods were used via the BEAST software. The first case of COVID-19 in Uganda likely originated from Kenya.

Disputed The exact wording appears verbatim in the article text: “The study utilised genomic sequences…”, “Bayesian Phylogeography methods were used via the BEAST software.”, and “The first case of COVID-19 in Uganda likely originated from Kenya.” But the paper is multi-authored (Patricia Nabisubi, Stephen Kanyerezi, Herbert Agasi, Shahiid Kiyaga, Eva Akurut, Grace Kebirungi, Gerald Mboowa, Daudi Jjingo, Ronald Galiwango), so I can’t verify this as a single-author quote attributed solely to Daudi Jjingo.
