A November 26 letter from the presidency asked the head of Uganda's national drug authority to 'work out a mechanism' to clear the importation of the vaccines.

China has about five COVID-19 vaccine candidates at different levels of trials. It was not clear what vaccine was being imported into Uganda.

One of the frontrunners is the Sinopharm vaccine developed by the Beijing Institute of Biological Product, a unit of Sinopharm’s China National Biotec Group (CNBG).

On Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates said the vaccine has 86% efficacy, citing an interim analysis of late-stage clinical trials.

China has used the drug to vaccinate up to a million people under its emergency use program.

On Tuesday, Morocco said it was ordering up to 10 million doses of the vaccine.

Record cases

Uganda on Monday registered 701 new COVID-19 cases, the highest-ever daily increase, bringing its national count to 23,200.

The new cases were out of the 5,578 samples tested for the novel coronavirus over the past 24 hours, the country's health ministry said in a statement.

Tuesday's tally was 606, the second-highest ever number of new infections, bringing the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the east African country to 23,860.

Health authorities have blamed ongoing election campaigns which have drawn huge crowds for the rise in infections.

Steve Harvey apparently is looking a little different, more specifically older, according to some fans of him and his wife, Marjorie.

In a photo Marjorie Harvey posted to Instagram on Tuesday, June 9, users accidentally mistook Steve for his wife’s father.

Instagram users applauded the pair for voting early, but a few people confused Steve for Marjorie’s father, adding that he looked “old.”

When a different person assured the man in the picture was “Steve Harvey,” the fan replied, “I Thgt that was her father but now👀.”

Someone else swore up and down that Steve was “Marjorie’s dad,” but a fan corrected the person and responded, “No that’s uncle Steve.”
