During his Friday night State of the Nation address, Museveni that Ugandans will have to show proof of COVID 19 Vaccination before accessing all government MDA's - Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
"The national task force reviewed the current Covid situation in country and made the following recommendations that should be adopted for implementation with immediate effect" Museveni said.
Among those include, a certificate of vaccination will be evidence for entry to formal meetings to public places. No one will be allowed to enter public places without an update certificate to show you have got two doses and a booster.
