As the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus rises to over 700, in Uganda, Boda-boda riders continue to ignore government directives of wearing face masks properly and practicing social distancing.
Many Ugandans continue to adhere to the directives given by President Yoweri Museveni and the Ministry of Health, in regards to combating the spread of Covid-19.
However, others continue to defy these directives, and only comply after seeing security personnel and camerapersons.

As the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus rises to over 700, in Uganda, Boda-boda riders continue to ignore government directives of wearing face masks properly and practicing social distancing.
To wear or not to wear….
