Good morning tweeps,
Today a police officer near EC stopped me that I never had a mask while riding a bicycle. I then had to give him education on
@MinofHealthUG
guidelines on use of face masks. You don't need a mask while cycling alone.

I understand you sent us to Yumbe which is a hard to reach area. Is it also hard for our allowances to reach??
We have so far worked for 3 months and no pay.
Why haven’t we paid?? Why have some interns got money and not us??

When alone in a car, you don't need to wear a face mask. Unless you have or pick some other occupants. The same applies to those ridding bicycles. Since you doing some exercise you don't need a face mask.

FAKE NEWS ALERT: Disregard a social media post alleging power failure at any of our hospitals. None of our hospitals (Mulago, Kawempe, Women's Hospital) has experienced a power failure or lost babies . Disregard the lies
@MethiaLydiaN
stop spreading lies and fake news.
We are collecting feedback. We shall provide responses. However, some exhibitors are sharing expired content. Eg NICU at Kawempe. The matter was addressed many years back.
@kirudduNRH
