Uganda’s Museveni says schools, bars to reopen in Jan after COVID closures in place since March 2020
Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni on Friday announced plans to lift COVID-19 containment measures in January that had been in place since March 2020, including reopening schools, bars and nightclubs, citing rising vaccination rates. In a televised speech late on Friday, Museveni said pre-primary, primary and secondary schools would be reopened on Jan. 10. Bars and nightclubs will be reopened, and a nighttime curfew lifted, two weeks after schools have resumed, he added.
