The Ugandan Government is currently in talks to decide on whether to embark on a lockdown considering the sharp rise in new infections in the East African Nation.
According to health authorities, more contagious variants of the disease from India, the UK, and South Africa are to blame for the sharp increase in cases. Dr. Atwine has suggested that some parts of the country.
Some areas must be locked down unless people get back to observing SOPs (standard operating procedures). Otherwise, our systems will be overwhelmed and we shall see scenarios we have been seeing in some countries.
Dr Atwine
Some, however, blame the government for relaxing the social distancing measures earlier in the year. Uganda now has a total headcount of cases at 44,594 with 361 deaths
