Authorities in Uganda maintain COVID-19 domestic measures and travel protocols unchanged as of March 16.
Event
As of March 16, authorities maintain limited COVID-19-related domestic and travel restrictions.
Domestic Measures
Restaurant and bar patrons require proof of vaccination. Concerts and other social events are permitted with no restrictions on capacity. Other businesses have reopened without restrictions on closing, though strict health protocols must be respected. Boda-Bodas (motorcycle taxis) may operate until 19:00. Public transportation is operating at full capacity and is only accessible to vaccinated people.
International Travel Restrictions
While mandatory testing of inbound travelers upon arrival is no longer in force, all arrivals must still provide a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before travel to Uganda. A negative PCR test certificate issued no more than 72 hours before travel remains necessary for departure from Uganda, except for those transiting within the airport. Those crossing land borders will be required to abide by the requirements above.
Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice, depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
Advice
Reconfirm all planned travel arrangements. Plan accordingly for protracted commercial, transport, and logistics disruptions. Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Consider delaying travel if experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, as they may prompt increased scrutiny and delays. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates and guidance. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions.
