KIU, Main Campus - While addressing the nation on COVID-19 on Tuesday, President Yoweri Museveni said that he will be giving new guidelines after the Ministry of Health concludes a study and assessment of the prevalence of COVID-19 in communities which will be released on 4th May.

“Our team of experts are studying the situation intensely and we shall give you new guidelines and way forward before the date of May 5 comes. But this will be determined by the study, not suppositions, not just imposing things on the situation," the President offered.

The survey which was flagged off by the Ministry of Health on Tuesday targets populations including market vendors, truck drivers and communities along their routes, border crossing points, local communities and health workers among others.

He also appreciated Ugandans for responding positively to the presidential directives and measures that were given by the Ministry of Health.

Further, Museveni said that he would take a pay cut of his salary and donate part of his salary to the National COVID-19 Response Fund to fight against COVID-19.
