President Yoweri Museveni will today evening at 8:00PM address the nation on the country’s fight against COVID-19 and what next after the expiry of the set deadlines for different lockdown measures.

“Today, at 8pm, President Museveni will address the country, giving an update on the fight against COVID-19 so far and related issues. Tune into your TV or radio and listen. Thanks,” Don Wanyama, Senior Presidential Press Secretary said on Monday.

Most of the lockdown measures including curfew expired on 21 June, 2020.

Three weeks back, the President postponed  reopening of schools for candidates.

During his state of Nation Address, Museveni said they decided to postpone the opening of schools for finalists for another one month. He also said that curfew was to stay for the next 21 days.

“The scientists have advised us to be cautious about reopening for finalists. We do not have enough testing kits to test all the 1.4m finalists. We have therefore decided to postpone the reopening of school for finalists for another one month.” Museveni said.
