China has about five COVID-19 vaccine candidates at different levels of trials. It was not clear what vaccine was being imported into Uganda.
One of the frontrunners is the Sinopharm vaccine developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Product, a unit of Sinopharm’s China National Biotec Group (CNBG).
On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates said the vaccine has 86% efficacy, citing an interim analysis of late-stage clinical trials.
China has used the drug to vaccinate up to a million people under its emergency use program.
On Tuesday, Morocco said it was ordering up to 10 million doses of the vaccine.

“While you may have had many black pastors and clergy who may have shown up at events, and you may have had a lot of people from black churches who were at these marches and protests, from 2014 to the present, by and large, this has not been a theological movement,” said Watson Jones III, the senior pastor of Compassion Baptist Church in Chicago.
Watson Jones III: One of the things that has been sort of interesting to me, that is different from every major movement for black justice in America, is that the black church is not at the forefront of this.

BY HARRIET CHIKANDIWA INCARCERATED journalist Hopewell Chin’ono will spend another long weekend in remand prison after a Harare magistrate directed that his application for bail be made on August 12. Chin’ono, who is facing allegations of incitement to cause public violence and breach of peace or bigotry, had yesterday appeared before magistrate Ngoni Nduna for routine remand. Chin’ono was arrested on July 20 together with opposition Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume. Before his arrest, Chin’ono had exposed corruption by top government officials which led to the arrest and subsequent dismissal of Health minister Obadiah Moyo last month. The State alleges that sometime between March 1 and July 20, 2020, while in Harare, Chin’ono, “intending to persuade or induce other persons or realising that there was a real risk or probability that by such communication other persons may be persuaded or induced to engage in public violence or participate in gatherings that would disturb peace, posted numerous messages on his Twitter handle @daddyhope.” The State alleged that in the messages, Chin’ono intended to persuade the Zimbabwean populace to commit the crime of public violence and to participate in gatherings with intent to promote public violence, breach of peace and bigotry. High Court judge Justice Tawanda Chitapi also dismissed Ngarivhume's bail appeal, saying he was a flight risk.
Watson was upset at first because she was already following safety protocols before COVID-19; social distancing, seeing clients one at a time, keeping everything sanitized, and wearing gloves and masks depending on the client.
“It was difficult to gather those numbers because they gave me a hard time, but I got the numbers to Commissioner John Wiley Price and his thing was he wanted to help us but focused on health and safety first,” Watson said.
Watson has had to battle personal struggles as well as dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic impacting her business.
Watson said once she does open, the precautions she will take include seeing clients on a case by case basis, wearing masks, and using thermometers to scan people’s heads at her business.
