Uganda will fully reopen when 4.4m people get Covid-19 jabs – Museveni

 President Museveni has said the government will open up the remaining closed economies after vaccinating at least 80 per cent of the vulnerable groups. 

He said his scientists have confirmed new coronavirus variants from South Africa, United Kingdom, and Nigeria, which, they say are more dangerous than the first reported virus in the country.

He  said some of the Covid-19 preventive measures like  closure of bars and curfew, which government introduced at the onset of the pandemic, will remain in force. 

Mr Museveni said the samples Ministry of Health collected between end of February and March 10 have shown presence of severe newer variants known as B1525, B351 and A231, which are more transmissible and don’t present initial signs of cough and loss of smell as in the first variant.
