Abstract
COVID–19 (Corona Virus) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS–COV–2).
The virus that was first discovered in China Wuhan Province about 3 months ago (first cases were reported
in Wuhan on December 31st 2019) has spread world wide. The six (6) top countries (excluding
China) most affected so far include; USA, Italy, Spain, Germany, France and Iran. With Italy showing
the highest death toll.
In Uganda where it was discovered on 19/3/2020 with one (01) case has just in nine (9) days, increased
to thirty (30) infected individuals. This model is a wake up call over the rate at which COVID–19 is
likely to spread throughout the country. Thus it is a guide for policymakers and planners to benchmark
on for solutions to this deadly virus
