The Ugandan government on Friday partially relaxed the Covid-19 restrictions it imposed on June 18, citing a “consistent reduction” in the rate of infection.

President Yoweri Museveni told the country on Friday night there had been a positive outcome from the tight restrictions that included a ban on inter-district travel across the country.
