Among people who have tested positive for the virus in Uganda are truck drivers who left the Malaba and Busia border points. The truck drivers transport goods to Uganda, Rwanda, DR Congo and South Sudan. Residents are streaming to the Malaba border port health screening centre and the One-Stop Border Post in Busia for voluntary screening. Governor Sospeter Ojaamong last Saturday asked the national government to devise other means of transporting cargo as the presence of long-distance truck drivers poses a great threat to residents. Most of her clients are truck drivers.
