"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 gov't has decided to provide these masks to all Ugandans 6 years and above," Mr Museveni said in a televised address to update Ugandans on government efforts against the spread of the virus which has left 227 people in the country infected.
Public transport will resume around June 2, 2020 after all Ugandans get face masks.
"For the bars and salons, since they cannot observe the rules of social distancing, they will not be allowed to open for another 21 days, this includes, gyms and swimming pools," Mr Museveni said.
This will require you to wear a proper mask," Mr Museveni said.
