President Museveni is expected to address the nation today at midday to guide on the next course of action after the expiry of the 14 day lockdown and it is expected that he might extend it.
“Just to guide, the current lockdown runs until tomorrow (Tuesday) midnight. Some people hadn't gotten this clearly. You will therefore wait for President Museveni to guide on way forward tomorrow at midday,” the Senior Presidential Press Secretary, Don Wanyama tweeted on Monday.
