“There will be curfew in Mubende and Kasanda districts starting from 7pm to 6am. Public, private transport and Boda Bodas are not permitted to move in Mubende and Kasanda districts to curb Ebola,” said the head-of-state.

Museveni clarified that people traveling across Mubende and Kassanda are permitted to move after police clearance and not allowed to stop or pick up a person in the two districts.

“Any cargo to be dropped in those districts shall be dropped only during the day not beyond 5pm. If someone does so, he or she stay there for 21 days,” the Ugandan leader explained.

Citing the public’s non-compliance to government’s guidance on controlling Ebola, President Museveni also announced a return to several other restrictive measures that were previously deployed by the State to curb the viral Covid-19.

“Schools should remain open with strict operating procedures but any one with signs and symptoms should remain home and report to health workers for medical checkup.”

“All places of worship and entertainment in these districts should be closed. All burials should be conducted by the health workers whether someone died from Ebola or not,” he added.

Although Ebola is often fatal, at least 20 recoveries have been posted by health authorities in Uganda.
