The International Airport and land borders will now be opened for tourists, coming in and going out, provided they tested negative 72 hours before arrival in Uganda and provided the tour operators ensure that the tourists do not mix with the Ugandans. #M7Address
Returning Ugandans, who have negative PCR results, will be allowed to go home. The Ministry of Health will only get their addresses for follow up. #M7Address

1st of all, we used a mixed methodology to collect 1,353 responses, then narrowed it down to 1,182 by removing incomplete surveys & those from outside Uganda.
This really moved on Twitter, which is not representative of Ug, so we also made calls upcountry. See our sample here.👇

We asked people about their media consumption.
72% of respondents were hearing about Covid-19 at least once every day.
The most common type of media our respondents were exposed to was TV, which corresponds to other studies (see footnotes). Keep in mind Twitter is over-sampled.

The content that these experts will produce I can only imagine....reminds of the famous tourism campaign ;-).

MY OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF UGANDA ON MEDIA CURFEW
I would like to use this chance to thank the government's effort in trying to control the spread of Covid-19 at a time Uganda has 45 confirmed cases, by the time of writing this. There will surely be more cases.

20 Mar 2020, Our President @MichaelDDavisJr submitted a letter on behalf of American Chamber of Commerce of Uganda members to @OPMUganda regarding clarifications on some of @KagutaMuseveni 's speech points. Specifically - See thread
1.Import of Goods & Raw Materials: Clarification on procedures for import & export Kenya, TZ, RW, DRC, and SoSud not Cat 1 Should be free movement across the border. Need to smooth logistics & transportation process to avoid delays in supply chain, deliveries, and production
2.Support for #BUBU initiatives: AmCham believes @GovUganda should focus current laws & policies on ensuring BUBU initiatives are implemented. Many companies could use juice puree from local fruit but are unable to due to interpretation of the law
