FALSE: A viral tiktok video falsely claims that Uganda is about to enter another nationwide lockdown. The video above shows evidence that authorities have implemented targeted Ebola control measures and safer guideline.
As of today it’s 10 days with zero Ebola cases registered.

As we mark the Day of the African Child, let’s be reminded that media literacy isn’t just for adults. Children deserve to know how to question what they see online📲, spot manipulation, and protect themselves from misinformation just as much as they deserve clean water, education, and safety.
Building a media-literate generation starts with us. Let’s teach our children to think critically, ask questions, and never just accept the first thing they’re told.

WATCH: The claim that Okello has been hanged is FALSE. There is no credible news or official confirmation about this.
Spreading such unverified rumors doesn’t just create panic. It reopens wounds for families still seeking justice for loved ones, and it erodes public trust in the law and institutions meant to protect us.
Misinformation spreads fast, but the damage it leaves lasts longer.
Before you share, verify.

WATCH: A viral TikTok video circulating online claiming that Speaker Anita Among was shot to death is false.
We established that the footage used as evidence is from a car crash that occurred in Ghana. It has no connection to Anita Among or any reported shooting in Uganda.
