In line with the resolutions of the National Task Force meeting held on Thursday, 21st May 2026, chaired by H.E. the Vice President of Uganda, and considering the elevated risk within Kampala Metropolitan Area and identified high-risk border districts, the following directives shall take immediate effect.
