COVID-19: Police disperse mourners in Mitooma

Police dispersed mourners at the funeral of Geoffrey Ndyabandahi, a prominent businessman in Mitooma town council.

Police moved in to disperse the mourners on Wednesday for flouting the standard operating procedures (SOPs). While announcing the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown in March this year, President Yoweri Museveni restricted funerals to only 10 close family members. 

He also directed mourners to strictly wash hands, wear face masks and observe physical distancing to reduce the risk of spreading and contracting COVID-19.

However, more than 200 mourners attended the funeral in Mitooma in violation of the SOPs and failed to maintain the 2-metre physical distancing and wearing of face masks.

Samuel Olumu, the Mitooma district police commander, says they were forced to take action because they had earlier on warned the organisers of the burial against contravening presidential directives on funerals.  

"The president directed not more than 10 people to carry out funeral rites, we told them but they refused. There were more than 200 people so we had to take action," he said.  

Olumu says they also arrested Robert Mbiine, an aspirant for the Ruhinda County parliamentary seat who was found addressing the mourners and have since charged him with committing a negligent act likely to spread an infectious disease.  

He says politicians have hijacked funerals and turned them into political rallies in disregard of ministry of Health guidelines. According to Olumu, people have forgotten that coronavirus is still in the country and still deadly. Uganda has so far lost 11 people to coronavirus and over 1300 people infected with the virus. 

 

Mbiine wondered why he was singled out by the police yet there were more than 15 political aspirants at the funeral.

"I was seated with other political aspirants and I was not addressing people. I wonder why police picked me out of all the people who came for the burial," he said.     

Mbiine's rivals include minister Gen Kahinda Otafiire and Mathias Bagwa Nuwagaba. The incumbent area MP, Capt Dononzio Kahonda who will contest in the newly created Ruhinda South constituency.  

Justus Karugaba, Mitooma 11 LC I chairperson criticised police for picking on Mbiine yet many politicians including district councillors and other candidates were in attendance.  

"Why did police have to arrest Mbiine, over 30 candidates contesting on different levels have been here but police has not arrested them," he said.

New Zealand back into lockdown after detection of new COVID-19 cases

New Zealand is again under lockdown restrictions Wednesday after four COVID-19 infections were detected in Auckland, the South Pacific's country's biggest city.

They are the first confirmed cases of community transmission of coronavirus in more than 100 days. In June, New Zealand declared a victory in its fight against COVID-19.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the country had "united in unprecedented ways to crush the virus." Restrictions were lifted, and life began to return to what it was before the pandemic, although New Zealand's international borders stayed closed.

But the coronavirus had not gone away. After more than three months without a local infection, four cases have been found among a family in Auckland. None had recently traveled overseas and the source of the disease is being urgently investigated.

Auckland, a city of 1.6 million people, is now subject to stage three restrictions. Bars and restaurants have closed, along with schools. Workers have been told to stay at home, although staff in essential services are exempt. The lockdown will last for at least three days. Less stringent measures, including limits on gatherings and social distancing protocols, apply to the rest of New Zealand.

The Health minister Chris Hipkins told New Zealand radio that the government wanted to avoid a surge in cases seen overseas, including in the Australian city of Melbourne.

"We are taking a very, very precautionary approach here. One of the reasons that we are moving very swiftly and that we are moving to level three (restrictions) for Auckland very quickly is we want to do everything we can to avoid (a) situation like Melbourne. You know, one of the lessons from overseas is you cannot be too hard, too soon. The faster you move the better your chances," Hipkins said.

Ahead of Wednesday's lockdown, large crowds of shoppers were seen queuing at supermarkets despite officials insisting that panic-buying was not necessary.

The World Health Organization had highlighted New Zealand as an example to other nations for having "successfully eliminated community transmission." The re-emergence of the virus shows how difficult it is to stamp it out.

Australia, too, has seen a resurgence of COVID-19 in some states, including New South Wales and Victoria, where a strict lockdown has been imposed.
