Covid in Uganda: 'Four people would die every night'

President Yoweri Museveni has reimposed a 42-day lockdown after there's been a dramatic rise in coronavirus infections in Uganda.

Several African countries have witnessed a sharp rise in Covid-19 infections including Uganda. The third wave seems to be affecting primarily a younger population aged between 20 and 39.

Uganda is also running out of vaccines, hospital beds and oxygen.

Police crackdowns have increased as people have continued to socialise despite curfews.
