Mixed Reactions As Door To Door Distribution Of Masks Kicks Off In Kampala

Posted by: lukwago J in Health August 9, 2020

Door-to-door distribution of face masks has kicked off in Kampala Metropolitan Area as part of Government’s interventions to limit the spread of COVID-19. This exercise is being coordinated by the local community leaders.

Distribution is also ongoing in Wakiso and Mukono districts.

Ministry of Health urges everyone to receive their face mask and wear it when in public places. Wear the face mask correctly i.e. cover your mouth and nose. When worn correctly, the face mask can provide full protection from COVID-19.

DO NOT let the mask hang on your chin, neck like a necklace, or on your ear like an earring. Practice frequent hand washing and maintain social distancing. COVID-19 is real and it kills.
