Police in Jinja have arrested 40 people and impounded 79 motorcycles for allegedly flouting guidelines that were put in place to curb the spread of Covid-19, including the 9pm to 5:30am curfew.
The Jinja District police commander (DPC), Mr Ahmed Hasunira, said the public is not aware that curfew is still on and have gone ahead to operate businesses beyond the allowed time.
The operation was carried out in the divisions of Bugembe, Walukuba-Masese and Mafubira, all in Jinja City on Friday night, where in some places, the culprits were found drinking and dancing, in breach of the ban that was announced by President Museveni in March last year.
