This development comes in after President YK Museveni unleashing a new program of availing face masks to the public at free of charge by government.
During his COVID-19 address on Monday evening, President Museveni noted that there will be free masks in supply to all Ugandans above 6years of age.
This will have to match the new Ministry of Health directive of ‘Mandatory wearing of masks’ in public as the country continues in battle with COVID-19 Pandemic.
Museveni also said that the masks are currently in production under government firms and must be ready by 2nd June when the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown is expected to be lifted.
