The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The minister of health has warned that the country is experiencing an increase in the number of daily COVID-19 cases compared to the stable trends it observed since January.
The increase is similar to the rise the country faced in June 2021 when the Delta variant was prevalent, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng, the minister of health, said in a tweet late on Sunday.
“As a country, we are well prepared to respond and save lives than before. We have no indication for travel restrictions, or lockdown in the current circumstances,” she said. “We will optimize the existing control and mitigation tools at personal and community levels.”
We have started experiencing an increase in the daily number of COVID-19 cases compared to the stable trends we observed since January 2022.

The minister said the measures being taken to address the resurgence include vaccination for all, requiring mask wearing at all times especially by the vulnerable population, and hand washing.
Uganda experienced the second wave of the pandemic in June last year, which left several people dead and hundreds hospitalized, forcing the country into a lockdown.

Well
I happened to see a message similar to this one after returning from a gathering
A number of functions take place in doors,
So what do we do about it?
In our communities, how is the information about enforcing control measures being delivered?
Washing hands requires flowing water a detergent and friction
How do we ensure the act when use of detergent has become a luxury?
Last but not least as we remember to report for vaccination, please keep reminding us of the active centers (bouncing turns us off), and vital information to report before the jab
