All Ugandans aged six years and above will be given free face masks in a bid to protect themselves against the coronavirus, President Yoweri Museveni has said.
"This mask must be worn all the time when you are in public.
Since many people raised the issue that they cannot afford these masks, the government has decided to provide these masks to all Ugandans (aged) six years and above," Mr Museveni said in a televised address.
At the same time, President Museveni said that public transport will resume on June 2, 2020 after all Ugandans get face masks.
This will require you to wear a proper mask," Mr Museveni said.
