Police in Uganda's capital Kampala have closed shops that had not installed wash-points, the New Vision newspaper reports.
The authorities were following the president's new directives to slow down the spread of coronavirus, the state-owned newspaper continued.
People without face masks were also ordered to get one and the traders put up notices to customers that face masks were compulsory.
The newspaper tweeted photos of police enforcing the directives:
