Last January, 28-year-old Andrew Lutaaya, after a few years of unsuccessful job searching ventured into small business, selling second-hand jeans in downtown Kampala, in a shop he co-rented with a friend.
Two months later as his business was starting to pick up, the government announced a total lockdown when the country recorded its first coronavirus case, banning public transport, non-essential work among other restrictions.
