Ugandan schools, closed since March last year owing to the pandemic, will reopen in January regardless of currently low vaccination uptake, the country’s president said on Thursday.
“Be informed that the schools will be opened in January and the rest of the economy will be opened in the same month,” said Yoweri Museveni.
Ugandans have shown reticence to get jabbed so far despite Museveni stating that “right now 4.7 million vaccines” are available with a further 23 million doses expected by the end of the year. Museveni urged Ugandans to “walk to the health centres or be carried there… go by motorcycle taxi, go by bicycle or go by vehicle and be immunised”.“If anything goes wrong, the moral responsibility is yours.”
