Omusinga highlighted that he is appreciative to the government’s quick decision to close the borders with Congo, where the disease is believed to have not only resisted but also claimed a lot of people.
Omusinga, however, urged the subjects to continue adhering to the guidelines issued by the ministry of health until the government the country is declared completely free of the virus disease.
The Rwenzururu King also discouraged his subjects from consuming foods especially meat that has not been verified by health inspectors.
