In a two-page statement on her official twitter handle, Ms Museveni asked parents to be patient as the government ramps up vaccination of the vulnerable groups and students aged 18 and above.

“The only reason the government has chosen to let schools remain closed could be simply to ensure that the lives of children remain safe from the danger that the Covid-19 pandemic brings to human life or to a family.
