Vendors in Soroti Main Market have deployed bouncers to enforce safety measures against the spread of coronavirus. The bouncers are tasked to deny customers who refuse to wash hands access to the market.
Mr George William Eriebat, the chairperson of Soroti Market Vendors Association, said the initiative was taken following concerns that some customers were rushing past handwashing facilities.
“You will not know who is infected with the virus. The best is to observe hygiene by frequently washing hands but some people have been ignoring that,” Mr Eriebat said.
Mr Ted Enangu, one of the vendors selling farm inputs, said the bouncers are members of the business community who have sacrificed to enforce the measures.
“If you do not want to wash your hands, you go back to your home other than spreading the coronavirus,” Mr Enangu said. The vendors have placed handwashing facilities in different spots of the market. They have also barricaded their lockups as a measure for social distancing to prevent customers from getting into contact with them and their commodities.
Mr Peter Okoth, one of the bouncers, said their purpose is basically to counter indisciplined customers who try to defy the order. “Those who try to defy the regulations at the entrance will be denied any entry to the market,” he said.
The Resident District Commisioner of Soroti District, Mr William Wilberforce Tukei, commended the vendors in Soroti market for the latest initiative. He also discouraged the public against staying near people who are sneezing and coughing.
How to wash hands Step 1: Wet hands with running water. Step 2: Apply enough soap to cover wet hands. Step 3: Scrub all surfaces of the hands – including back of hands, between fingers and under nails – for at least 20 seconds. Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with running water Step 5: Dry hands with a clean cloth or a single-use towel.
Imagining Miss Mary from Romper Room brandishing a piece or maybe Captain Kangaroo with brass knuckles.
so now people gonna get the stuffins beat out of them for not washing hands- golly, to think just a few months ago people had freedoms-
Maybe vendor goers should hire biker gangs to accompany them to the vendor’s places of business- Bet Bikers need work right now too-
Poppy’s a little sloppy.
No bouncer would take the job. Too dangerous.
Can’t beat corona virus ? We’ll beat you up!
That’s one of the great things about ‘Seinfeld’. No matter what the topic, there’s a Seinfeld reference that would fit.

The last great TV show. Then “Friends” came along.
I’m conserving water by first getting my hands wet, shutting off water for 20 seconds while lathering, and then rinsing.
I was counting on that episode showing up
Timmy: That’s like putting your WHOLE MOUTH into the dip!!!
But don’t you contaminate the faucet handle by doing that, then recontaminate your hands when you turn it off?
In the meantime, having sex with underage virgin girls from the village will cure the fornicator’s HIV.
If I went into a business that had some nanny ordering me to wash my hands, I’d walk right back out the door. I’m an adult; I don’t need someone advising me on personal hygiene.
Good point!
Yes, not only do I periodically put soap on the faucets, but use different surfaces of faucet, including back of hands on some faucet, to turn water on and off.
I carefully soap other questionable surfaces too.
Here is the best video that I’ve seen about ordinary soap v. Coronavirus.

And when COVID-19 emergency is over, I plan to keep washing hands this way to conserve water.
