A fortnight ago, the Ministry of Health with support from government of Uganda launched a new campaign dubbed #TONSEMBERERA, loosely translated as “Keep Your Distance”. This campaign seeks to appeal to all Ugandans to observe a 4 meter distance while in public.
“Keep Your Distance” campaign is also aimed at seeing no mass spread of coronavirus within the community. The country has recorded an encouraging community infections rate since March when the first case was announced.
