KIU, Main Campus câ¬â?? While addressing the nation on the state
of COVID-19 in Uganda on 28th March 2020, President Yoweri Museveni,
suggested a mobile quarantine for the truck drivers transporting cargo across
East Africa.
After discussions with the heads of state of neighbouring
countries, an understanding was reached which involved the decision to test
truck drivers two times a month for Coronavirus, and to implement a mobile
quarantine on them which requires controlled movement.
câ¬Å?I had a long discussion with H.E Uhuru Kenyatta and H.E Paul
Kagame on the phone, and we agreed that our Ministries of Health can develop a common
plan for them,c⬠said the President.
câ¬Å?Quarantine doesncâ¬â?ct mean that you are stationary. It just
means that even if you are moving, your movement is controlled and contained,c⬠he
added.
