Abstract
In Covid-19, the world faces its biggest global crisis for decades. This
is evident in the cost of lives lost as well as the overstretching of
all resources, human and economic in order to counter the spread
and to develop a vaccine. By the time Uganda announced its first
confirmed positive case of Covid-19 on 21 March 2020, the World
Health Organisation (WHO) had already declared the coronavirus a
global pandemic. In line with WHO advice, the Government of Uganda
on 18 March 2020 joined many others around the region and the world
to announce measures aimed at limiting the spread of the virus.
