President Museveni on Monday warned of "serious trouble" if all the two million Ugandan citizens trapped outside the country because of the virus induced lockdown returned home.
According to Mr Museveni, only 2,500 Ugandans have expressed interest to return home.
According to the president, easing lockdown will be tied to the use of facemasks in public.
We believe that with the masks you do not infect others and you also do not get infected," Mr Museveni added.
This will need two weeks for Ministry of Education to plan how the learners can go to school," he added.
