Yesterday, President Museveni delivered a speech about Coronavirus and issued several directions to be followed in a period of 32 days as government is assessing the danger of the virus.

We can not ban or postpone burials for 32 days, it will not be good. We, therefore, recommend that burials should be done by relatives nearby, the rituals and mourning could be done at a later stage. It is only safe. #COVID19UG #M7Address pic.twitter.com/2SSr1yHiUH

At this moment, Uganda has not recorded any Coronavirus infections but government thought it wise to take these precautionary measures, as strict screening is ongoing at Entebbe International Airport and all entry points at the border.

Watching President Museveni addressing the nation, his comments are for world cup ??
"What if you go to church & get infected how will you forgive yourself or how will God forgive you?" ??#COVID19UG

On a rare occasion, the majority of Ugandans have reacted positively to the President’s address, but with Ugandans on social media, you cannot miss out on the humour involved in their reactions.

We have become a country that makes fun of almost everything, however serious it is, including something as serious as the Coronavirus that has claimed the lives of over 8000 people worldwide.

But if they have banned gatherings of more than ten people, Fic Fameica and Big eye can still hold concerts.#COVID19UG #Museveni

As we are making fun of this very serious situation, let us not forget to practice basic personal hygiene like washing our hands with soap for over 20 seconds, dessist from handshakes and hugs, as well as touching the mouth, face and nose.
