President Yoweri Musiveni has today announced a phased reopening of Uganda's economy.
Through a televised address today 31st Dec 2021, Museveni said the government is going to reopen the economy starting with reopening of schools.
Bars, concerts
According to the president, bars, concerts and discos will also be reopened but noted that this will come two weeks after schools have resumed.
“The bars and concerts will be allowed to operate two weeks after the opening of schools.”
He said that in order to avoid chaos, government will first deal with the opening of schools before the other sectors also open.
President Museveni also announced the lifting of curfew but noted that boda bodas will continue operating up to 7pm as their curfew is still in place.
Museveni however noted that some of these measures will be reversed if coronavirus infections keep increasing.
Uganda has confirmed 137270 cases of Coronavirus with 3,291 whereas 3.8 million people have been fully vaccinated against the virus.
President Museveni also directed that curfew will be uplifted for all persons, except the boda boda riders, who he said will have to still observe the 7pm – 6am curfew until further notice. The curfew, he said, will also take effect two weeks after the reopening of schools.
