In a significant development concerning public health safety, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has issued a formal appeal to religious leaders operating across the nation of Uganda. The President is strongly urging these spiritual heads to implement a temporary suspension of the practice of laying hands on worshippers during various prayer gatherings and healing sessions. This directive comes as a precautionary measure, with the President explicitly warning that such intimate physical contact could inadvertently facilitate the rapid spread of the Ebola virus among the congregation. By advising against this traditional form of prayer, the administration aims to mitigate the risks associated with direct physical interaction during this critical period of health vigilance.
