Five
people have been arrested and over forty shops closed for defying government
directives on COVID-19 in Mbale.
Most
of the shops forcefully closed are in the central business area. Rogers Taitika
the Elgon region Police spokesman says that as security they observed that many
shops not dealing in food items had opened.
Taitika
says they swung into action and closed them and five people who refused to
comply where arrested. He has urged the public to adhere to government
directives to avoid inconveniences.
Taitika
has asked proprietors of restaurants to remove all seats. He says the guidelines
do not allow people to converge and eat in restaurants.
