given the green light to operate starting this Saturday. However, Uganda concerts organisers will have to strictly adhere to Standard Operating Procedures set by the Ministry of Health.
Concerts in Uganda will only be conducted in in gazette open spaces from 7 am to 7 pm. In addition, a maximum of 200 people will be permitted to attend, and they will be required to wear face masks and practice social distancing.
The government has also fulfilled a pledge of supporting promoters affected by lockdown restrictions by giving them 1.2 Billion shillings.
Revelers have also been advised to follow health protocols in an effort to protect themselves. This news hasn’t been well received by a section of epidemiologists who had urged government to institute a lockdown throughout the festive season to curb the spread of the virus.
