Covid-19 also known as coronavirus is an infectious disease that emerged in 2019 and is said to have originated from China. The virus spreads at a high rate through droplet infection and is transmitted from one individual to another more so those in a crowded environment. There are many chances of contracting the virus through coughing and sneezing, individual to individual contact, or contact with the contaminated surfaces.Uganda just like any other country on the Globe also got so much affected by the pandemic hence calling for almost a total closure of many facilities in the country as a mitigation measure to curb down the rapid spread of the virus. The Government of Uganda went ahead and put restrictions on the movement of people. So with all these restrictions around the country, Tourism, in general, was put in a fallback position because of the virtual shutdowns.Later on, in September 2020, there was a partial opening of some facilities of which one of which included Tourism. National parks, lodges, and hotels were opened amidst the pandemic with high observations of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) by WHO.Good news hit the country on 15th March 2021 when the government of Uganda received the vaccine by health minister Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero accompanied by the members of the COVAX facility and the ambassadors of the European Union. Over 864,000 doses of Astrazeneca were received and so far over 4.38million Ugandans have been vaccinated against the virus. Some of these include the first family (President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and his wife Janet Kataha Museveni), the health minister (Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero), the Members of parliament, health workers, journalists,s and other prominent members in the country.
All these measures are taken purposely to carb down the widespread of the virus thereby making it a worry-free country for tourists to come to Uganda.
