Uganda kicked off the process of repatriating Ugandans that have been stranded abroad ever since passenger flights in and out of the country were suspended in March to avoid importing cases.

Uganda has received returnees from Afghanistan, Sudan, the Netherlands, the UK, and more are expected to return as Uganda Airlines will fly in those in South Africa this week on Thursday, July 2. All returnees are put under mandatory quarantine for 14 days at their cost.
