Kampala metropolitan police has cautioned the public against attending valentine parties that are being advertised on both online and traditional media.
In a press release by the territorial police spokesperson Patrick Onyango, he reminded the public that the ministry of health guidelines still stand and anybody found breaching them will be arrested.
“We have read, listened and seen several advertisements both online and traditional media advertising parties in different places like hotels, beaches and other open arenas to celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2021.
Ministry of Health guidelines still stand and the COVID19 instruments: The Public Health (Control of COVID-19) rules, 2020, that was put in place to fight the spread of Coronavirus is still in operation.
We want to warn the organisers of these parties to desist from breaking the law and stop advertising for the events.
