President Yoweri Museveni has called upon Muslims to maintain the COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures set by the Ministry of Health even while observing the Holy Ramathan fasting period.
The message was today read by President Museveni at State House Entebbe.
“Do not congregate, you can pray from home, some of you can pray from the mosques as required by the set procedures. God is everywhere, just avoid congregating in big numbers. I remind you to observe the COVID-19 Standard Operation Procedures which have been put in place by the Government through the Ministry of Health,” he said.

I have the pleasure, yet again, to wish you a blessed month of Ramadhan. May this month remind you to continue with all good deeds by lending a helping hand to those in need.
I would like to join the Muslim community in reaffirming the universal principles that bind us together as human beings; love, compassion, justice, peaceful co-existence and mutual respect.
I commend the Muslim fraternity for the good work done and for maintaining good relationships with other religious denominations in building the nation.
I appeal to you to pray for Peace and Prosperity of our Nation and I pray that at the end of the month of Ramadhan, our prayers and supplications will be granted and rewarded.
I remind you to observe the COVID-19 Standard Operation Procedures which have been put in place by the Government through the Ministry of Health.
Finally, I wish you a successful Ramadhan.
Thank You.
