President Yoweri Museveni has banned the outside exercise (jogging) during the day as an extended measure in the fight against the spread of the corona virus.

In a nation address on Wednesday, the president said all jogging sessions outside and specifically along the roads should stop with immediate effect.

 “You must stop this care free type of life. There should be no exercising in public. Do it in your compound or room,” the president said.

The extended ban on such “sports” activities follows a rise in the number of people jogging on various roads which in the end could lead to the spread of corona virus.
