President Yoweri Museveni on Friday last month directed the military to take over the COVID-19 screening at Entebbe International Airport.
Speaking during the national address, Museveni noted that the medical arm of the military should screen departing and arriving travelers at the airport.
The development came two weeks after the MoH suspended a private health facility from screening travelers over allegations of issuing fake COVID-19 results.
“The ministry of health, immigration services, port health, and other agencies of government should ensure compliance with the existing guidelines and directives such as testing, isolation,” Museveni said.
