Kampala — President Museveni has said that he and his government have played their part in containing the spread of Coronavirus, and can no longer take the blame if Ugandans start dying of Covid-19.
Mr Museveni said people have not died in Uganda because initially, his directives were followed to the latter which led to a few people being hospitalized.
His caution comes amid an increased number of Covid-19 community cases reported by the Ministry of Health coupled with the laxity amongst the population, the majority of whom have ignored advice to keep a social distance, wear face masks or even stay at home.
The mask is not very comfortable but medicine apart from that of children, is bitter," Museveni said as he presided over the National Heroes Day celebrations at State House, Entebbe today.
Mr Museveni said although Ministry of Health officials were planning for health facilities with 9000 bed capacity, he advised them to plan for 40,000 bed capacity and that places like Namboole Stadium are being prepared to treat a big number of people if cases continue to rise.
