KIGALI, Feb. 3 — The Rwandan government on Tuesday extended nationwide measures against COVID-19 until Sunday, including a lockdown in the capital city Kigali, while a curfew with other restrictions was announced to replace the lockdown for the next two weeks starting Feb. 8.
Rwandan Minister of Health Daniel Ngamije said later Tuesday that the extension will help to consolidate gains brought by the lockdown.
Health tests showed that the lockdown imposed on Kigali in the past two weeks slowed down the virus transmission, Ngamije said on the national broadcaster Rwanda Television, adding that before the lockdown, cases registered in Kigali were more than all cases in provinces combined, while the latest figures showed that the capital registered fewer cases compared to provinces.
In the past three days, the number of recoveries surpassed new cases, meaning the number of active cases is going down, he said.
Kigali returned to a lockdown on Jan. 18 due to a surge in COVID-19 cases in the city.
For the next two weeks from Feb. 8, a curfew from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. and other restrictions will be imposed, read a Cabinet Communique released by the Office of the Prime Minister.
