On the evening of Sunday, August 30, the Ugandan government issued a directive requiring agencies to charge $65 per test. This directive will also apply to truck drivers coming across the border, as well as Ugandan citizens returning home. Organizations that plan to test their employees and individuals who want to know if they have contracted the virus will also have to pay. Kampala is convinced that this collection will contribute to an increase in the number of funds for the fight against the pandemic. To date, 350,000 people have been tested, resulting in about 2,900 positive cases and at least 30 deaths. Individuals with symptoms of infection or those in contact with someone who has contracted COVID-19 will not have to pay. There are fears that this innovation could undermine efforts to contain the virus, discouraging people from getting tested. It can also increase the cost of imported goods, since truck drivers must pay for tests, like any potential tourists.

It is known that in recent months in Washington discussed the possibility of recognizin...
