President Yoweri Museveni has cautioned Ugandans against taking Coronavirus as a joke and making foolery of it on grounds that the country has not registered any death.

Delivering his Heroes day message at State house Entebbe Museveni Museveni said it is wrong for Ugandans to keep demanding for presidential orders even when ministers and the police try to direct them to observe the set guidelines to prevent further spread of the deadly Pandemic.

His concern comes as the country’s case toll stands at 657, of whom 22 are health workers while a total of 103 patients have been discharged according to the latest figures by the ministry of health.

He says commitment to a cause, dedication and discipline are key, to the success of any initiative that is why they were able to win the five year guerrilla war and all NRM projects since 1986 to date.

Museveni says Uganda must adhere to the health emergency standard procedures. This is why most parents are requesting him to stay the plan of opening the schools now because it might be hard to control any spread of Coronavirus among children once they are together at school.

Museveni has also reiterated his stand against corruption calling the perpetrators of the vice Parasites within the Ugandan community but he is far ready and committed to deal with them.

Today’s heroes’ day celebrations held scientifically has been under the theme “celebrating selflessness of those who put Nation first”
