President Museveni is set to address the country today at 4pm following the country’s first case of Corona Virus that was announced last night. This comes at a time when Ugandans are already feeling the pinch after the president issued directive to close down schools, churches, public gatherings for 32 days.
The president made other directives yesterday to suspend all incoming and outgoing commercial flights at Entebbe Airport and also closing boarders and all other entry points to the pearl of Africa.
Humans crossing into Uganda from the different border points are prohibited going forward. This is until we find coordination at the East African level. Please stay where you are. We are not against anyone but this is about manageability. #COVID-19 #M7Address. pic.twitter.com/bdECxIE92I

However, as Christians across the country attended prayers via facebook, televisions and radios in respect to the president’s directive, another lock down is looming from what the president will say in his 3rd national address in the wake of the Covid19 that has put the world to it’s knees.
In light of confirmation of a COVID-19 case in Uganda, I will today, at 4pm, address the country on what further steps to take so that we curb the possible spread of this disease. Thank you.
