The DG has, however, said there is no plan to suspend flights from Uganda but the ministry has instead heightened surveillance and screening at border points and all points of entry.
“We don’t intend to stop flights because it is safer if people come in through the formal points as we will take contacts and keep tract of all those who are coming in,” Amoth said.
Data from the ministry shows 18, 726 people were screened at the various points of entry between September 20 and 25.
