In a bid to protect its members from the deadly second wave of Covid-19, Entebbe Club has issued new guidelines to be followed by all golfers and staff in an attempt to curb the possible spread of the pandemic.
On Sunday, 6th June, among others, President Yoweri Museveni banned fans from any sports event as a Covid-19 preventive measure during his televised address to the nation on the way forward following the sharp rise of confirmed positive cases.
In reaction to the same, Entebbe Club Chairman Oscar Semawere has revealed that they have also adopted new measures that will be followed during this period of the partial lockdown.
