Following the reported outbreak of Coronavirus in the neighboring countries of Kenya, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Budaka district health department headed by Dr. Erisa Mulwani has banned with immediate effect hugging, kissing and handshakes so as to reduce the likely spread of the virus in case it hits the country.

The ban was announced Monday, March 16th,2020 as the district leadership convened to constitute its Coronavirus Taskforce during the meeting held at the district health boardroom.

‘’As of now corona virus is not in Uganda but our neighbors have it, so it’s better for us to be prepared earlier enough to handle it as we always emphasis that prevention is better than cure,’’ Dr Mulwani said.
