International pilgrims are required to either have a PCR test done 48 hours before entering the country or have a vaccination certificate.
Pilgrims from Uganda and other parts of the world have been allowed access to Namugongo for this year’s Martyrs Day celebrations due on June 3.
While giving an update on the preparations in Kampala yesterday, Fort Portal Catholic Diocese Bishop Robert Muhiirwa Akiiki said they have been preparing for a kind of open blast for this great occasion.
“We have spent two years without having a big celebration because of Covid-19. We have been in touch with the government, the Health ministry, Prime Minister’s office and they have given us a go-ahead to celebrate because the economy has been [fully] opened up and the [Covid-19] numbers have gone low,” Bishop Muhiirwa said.
