Uganda’s
President, Yoweri Museveni is warning that the country is heading to a more
dangerous phase of the novel coronavirus.
In a televised address on Monday night, Museveni said cases of
the disease were being reported among people whose contacts could not be traced
following the reopening of private and public transport in some parts of the
country.
Previous cases of the disease had mostly been reported among
returnees from abroad and cross-border truck drivers.
The president said restrictions on public and private transport
in at least 33 border districts would be lifted.
But districts that have a high population of refugees or are
major border transit points will continue to enforce regulations on transport.
Other controls that remain in effect include a night-time curfew
as well as the closure of places of worship and schools.
The country has so far confirmed 774 coronavirus cases with 631
recoveries and no death. - Africa
