Schools Won’t Close Again

SCHOOLS WONT CLOSE AGAIN
Learners return to school today with assurance from the ministry of health that schools will not be closed again despite the increase in Covid-19 new infections, hospitalization and deaths in the country.
Health minister Dr. Jane Aceng, instead urges Ugandans to learn to live with Covid-19 because it will not go away for at least the next two years.
Aceng says the country has lost a lot during the two years when the schools were closed so focus should now be on working hard to recover from the effects of Covid-19 pandemic.
She also urges Ugandans to continue wearing face masks and observe all SOPs for at least two years when they will be living together with Covid- 19.
The minister also said that despite the surge in new infections, hospitalization and death from Covid -19, statistics show that those who are dying are the unvaccinated ones, thus encouraging all eligible Ugandans to get the jab as the first line of protection.
