Uganda has introduced a 21-day quarantine requirement for citizens returning to the country from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo).
The measure applies to Ugandan nationals who have been in DR Congo and are returning to Uganda. In addition, most travellers who have recently been in DR Congo will not be permitted to transit through Uganda.
The restrictions affect both returning citizens and international travellers seeking to pass through Uganda after visiting DR Congo. The available information does not specify when the measures came into force, where quarantine will take place or whether exemptions will apply.
No further details have been provided on the reason for the decision or on how long the transit restrictions are expected to remain in place.
