(Bloomberg) --
Uganda extended its lockdown by 21 days in efforts to contain the Covid-19 outbreak in the East African country with 54 confirmed cases.
A ban on public transport has been extended from the initial two weeks to May 5 to enable tracking of likely carriers of the virus, President Yoweri Museveni said Tuesday in a televised address. Uganda closed its borders and banned international flights except for cargo and emergency flights on March 22, a day after the first case was identified.
