MoH website crashes as citizens try to download the new COVID-19 guidelines

With COVID-19 cases and deaths keep rising in Uganda, the government finds itself cornered in a position where they cannot issue a second lockdown due to the state of the economy.

The Ministry of Health (MoH) resorted to publishing new COVID-19 guidelines on the 20th August that would help guide the citizens and law enforcement to curb the spread of the virus. The guidelines files that cannot be accessed include;

1. COVID 19 GUIDELINES FOR MASS GATHERINGS
2. FINAL GUIDELINES ON MASK USE (1)
3. Guidelines on COVID-19 for Uniformed Personnel
4. Guideline on COVID-19 Prevention of Infection during Burials
5. GUIDELINES FOR PREVENTION OF COVID-19 WHEN CONDUCTING MEETINGS AT WORK PLACES

Users have been complaining that they are not able to download these pdf files and in our case we are not able to reach the website (http://health.co.ug/covid/project/guidelines) at all. We are welcomed with the message “There has been a critical error on your website.” when we try to download one of the files.
