President Museveni is set to address the nation again tonight after more coronavirus cases were confirmed in the country.
According to reports, the president might order for a curfew that no one will be allowed to move at night to help fight criminality.
However, according to the Nile Post, a select COVID19 team has handed over a report to Museveni on what they think should be done to combat the spread of the deadly pandemic.
“The president was advised to order for the total lockdown of Kampala Metropolitan districts of Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono for 14 days to limit movement among the population that would in turn help reduce the spread of coronavirus.”
“It is only wise to lock down now so as to control the spread of the pandemic. This measure will be taken for 14 days but could be extended basing on the situation on the ground.”
The total lockdown will however be implemented in only Kampala Metropolitan area so as to avoid the spread of the deadly pandemic to upcountry areas which could prove difficult to combat especially in remote areas.
It is understood that the Cabinet unanimously agreed to a total lockdown to contain the spread, exacerbated by returnees from the United Arab Emirates, specifically Dubai, who have since mixed with the population.
Therefore, by banning all movement, this will help reduce of the people in the city centre.
