President Yoweri Museveni last month said he would update the country on the COVID-19 situation this week.
Museveni is expected to come out with new measures to help control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and also further ease the lock-down that’s been on in the country since March.
Among the key issues he is expected to give guidelines to include reopening of schools and coming ‘scientific’ elections proposed by the Electoral Commission, with several parties now already involved in picking candidates to contest on different positions of different regions.
