REPATRIATION
KAMPALA - A total of 488 Ugandans are expected to arrive back home Saturday (July 18) from Qatar and the US, as the Ugandan government resumes its exercise of repatriating Ugandans and legal residents stranded abroad due to the closure of Entebbe International Airport and the land borders following the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
The repatriation exercise, which was as a result of Government's decision to allow a safe and phased return of all stranded Ugandans and legal residents, began on May 18.
But the exercise was put on hold for two weeks, starting July 4, to "allow the Ministry of Health to efficiently manage the numbers in the quarantine", according to a statement by the foreign affairs ministry.
"Other breaks for the same pupose have been taken into account in the planning," the statement adds.
In its statement, the foreign affairs ministry has included a table showing the details of the repatriation, including flight information and the arrival dates.
