“The 6 Chinese nationals who were arrested in Zombo for excusing themselves from quarantine before 14 days, have been returned to Kampala today. They will be tried tomorrow in Nakawa. This is not a drill. Uganda has taken drastic measures that EVERYONE is expected to follow.
Their passports have been withheld until after the Court ruling. I hope the other people under quarantine can learn from this experience and follow the guidelines given. Please stay safe and stay vigilant.”
