Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | President Yoweri Museveni is live on TV and radio, outlining steps Uganda will take to further ease the lock-down as cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) rise to 774, and have reached 33 districts in the country.
The president has been recently alarmed by the complacency by Ugandans after he partially lifted the lock-down early in March. Mask use and washing hands have declined, media reports have shown and President is expected to come out with tough measures to control the situation.
Ugandans will particularly be eager for a new decision on a curfew that runs from 7pm to 6.30am that has seen huge traffic jams in the evenings. President Museveni is also expected to outline new Standard Operating procedures for public transport, boda bodas and ease the lockdown on districts at the borders.
The re-opening of the education sector, will be another key highlight of the president’s address.
So far, Uganda has tested over 150,000 people for COVID-19. While its figures are higher than some other countries on the African bloc, public health experts say that the level of testing that has been carried out so far in the country does not give a clear picture of where the disease is currently concentrated.
Since Uganda announced its COVID-19 cases testing in the country has been focused on high-risk travellers, truck drivers and in border communities. On a daily basis, an average of 2,000 samples is tested in the country, 70 per cent of them focused on truck drivers.
Jam has become a huge problem during evening time so we are humbly asking for curfew extension atleast up to 9.00pm.
And even reopening of companies officially because people are really dieng of hunger since the game govt donated their food once
We should be patient and edible to fight covid

What kind of patience and edibility are u talking about? People are die dying and you’re talking about mother fucking patience… Other countries are Atleast giving their people hundreds of dollars back from the taxes they have been paying for years. For 30 years the government is only able to give 2kg of posho. What kind of sick headed president is that damn? Let the people go work for their stomachs.
Let’s pray for the pundemic to end in Jesus’s name
What next education highlights aren’t clear
#Tonnex u better not even talk about patience. Let the people go work for themselves. For 30 years we’ve been paying taxes but the government can’t pay back anything to us. Which damn leader quarantines country for months and gives a family 2kg of flour? Other countries are giving back millions and hundreds of dollars to its people. Now I tell you old man, let the people go work for their stomachs if you can’t feed them.
Lets pray for the pandemic to end in Jesus name so that we come to our life.
