The Ministry of Kampala Capital City and Metropolitan Affairs has allowed 127 arcades to open up for business while 120 will remain closed.
The decision was reached following inspections to observe whether these business facilities would resume operations while following Covid-19 SOPs, said Kyofatogabye Kabuye, the minister for Kampala Capital City and Metropolitan Affairs.
Inspectors looked at whether a building could operate at 50% capacity, stop vendors and hawkers from accessing the premises, clear passageways of illegal structures, and remove shop extensions.
As they re-open, arcades won't allow anyone to enter without a mask and they have to ensure temperature measurement and sanitization.
They have also been tasked to hire compliance officers, set up CCTV camera surveillance, isolation rooms, adequate sanitary facilities (one toilet per 20 shops), and register all tenants so the government is aware of populations in these facilities.
"As at Wednesday 11th August 2021, a total of two hundred and forty-seven (247) arcades had been inspected of which only 127 were recommended for opening while 120 were not recommended for re-opening," the minister said.
The arcades that failed are have been divided into two categories, that is, provisionally failed and failed.
