By Website Writer; The Resident City Commissioner (RCC) in charge of Nakawa division, Mr. Herbert Anderson Burora has ordered the immediate closure of Shoprite, Game, and Forest Mall in Lugogo, Kampala for flouting of Covid-19 standard operating procedures.
In a letter dated Tuesday, July 13 2021, Mr. Burora said that his decision was after a lengthy phone discussion with the managers of the facilities over the health and security concerns following presidential directives on Covid-19 that they bleached.
“It is unfortunate that they were not followed by management of the premises. It is from that concern that effective 14th July 2021, the mall will be closed,” he directed.
He also directed the two shopping facilities to remain open only for the financial institutions that operate within.
These shall have to prove that they provide transport to their workers and that they have installed all SOPs as guided by health standards.
“Private cars shall not be allowed into the premises apart from those that identity with essential services provided within the promises. All restaurants shall prove social distancing measures as opposed to the existing management,” Burora added.
According to the results of COVID-19 tests done on 11th July 2021 438 new cases have been confirmed bringing the cumulative number of confirmed cases to 88,194.
Last month, President Museveni imposed a 42days lockdown after a lethal surge in COVID-19 cases and deaths in Uganda.
