The minister for transport Gen Katumba Wamala has warned taxi operators against flouting Covid19 guidelines.

The minister conveyed his warning through a tweet, writing that, “Fellow Ugandans, it has come to my attention that some taxi operators and motorists are not obeying the #COVID19 guidelines in place.”

“With the increasing cases of community transmission, we may be forced to halt public transport.”

Public transport means were allowed to operate but under strict guidelines, among them; carrying only eight passengers instead of 14.

The taxi protectors are also supposed to ensure that all passengers wear masks.
