He added that visitors from Europe will also have to provide proof of full vaccination.

Kagwe, who noted that he has seen a “marked decrease” in the number of severe cases and deaths emphasised:

‘Not yet time to celebrate’

“I have no doubt that looking at these statistics, it’s very easy to become complacent and fail to appreciate the magnitude of the problem that we still face with the pandemic”.

“The current decline in the number of new infections may be attributed to a buildup of immunity both through natural exposure to the disease and the ongoing vaccination exercise. Nonetheless, we know that it’s not yet time to celebrate.”

CHANNELS TV reports according to official figures, that only 2.4 million people, or even less than nine percent of the country’s adult population, have been vaccinated, according to official figures.

According to Kagwe, the country has received a total of 10.7 million vaccine doses and is expecting to get another eight million, without giving a timeframe.

As reported by CHANNELS TV, under the new measures, only persons with proof of vaccination will access government services including hospitals, education, tax, and immigration offices.

According to the government, the restrictions will be imposed on public places such as national parks and game reserves, hotels, bars, and restaurants. Jamb Result
