Coronavirus city lockdown

An old lady who was in the co-drivers seat while being driven in a delivery truck was told to go to the back of the truck after reaching a roadblock in Mutungo.  In a bid to stop the spread of coronavirus government has  put a ban on all private cars as well as public transport.

A man and his children walk to Mubende. The casual labourer who has been working in Bugerere, is now out of work and has to return home. He is hoping to get a lift from delivery trucks when he reaches Busega that will give them a lift to cover the rest of the journey (about 170km).
