Uganda's education minister has ordered the country's teachers to get vaccinated against Covid-19 or risk being barred from classrooms when schools reopen.
Janet Museveni, who is also the country's first lady, warned that any teacher who goes to work with a fake certificate as proof of vaccination risks losing their job.
She said the inoculation of teachers would help protect pupils from the virus, adding that vaccination centres would be set up in schools and universities when they reopen.
Mrs. Museveni has been under pressure in recent weeks to reopen schools, which were closed on 6 June to contain the second wave of Covid-19 infections.
