In a significant public health advisory broadcast via the Uganda Broadcasting Corporation, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has issued a formal directive urging all citizens to immediately cease the traditional practice of shaking hands. The President emphasized that in light of current health considerations, this social custom must be abandoned to prevent the potential spread of illnesses. Furthermore, President Museveni clarified that in circumstances where greeting another individual becomes absolutely unavoidable, members of the public should strictly opt for a simple wave from a distance instead of physical contact. This official guidance serves as a critical reminder for the community to prioritize safety and hygiene protocols during all interpersonal interactions.
