Veterinary doctors and district authorities in the central region are stuck on how to enforce the new guidelines aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19 in livestock markets.
On November 26, the State Minister for Animal Industry, Mr Bright Rwamirama, issued new guidelines which livestock farmers and dealers have to follow when converging at various weekly livestock markets across the country.
Livestock markets, like other businesses, were closed early this year following the outbreak of Covid-19.
