“The cooperation of Rwandans and residents is greatly appreciated as are the efforts of those working hard in the health sector  who continue to be supported and appropriately protected as they work to protect the health and safety of all of us,” the statement reads in part.

As health workers make efforts to contain the virus spread, Rwandans have been reminded to stay home and avoid unnecessary movement to avoid the transmission of the virus.

The government has also closed the airport to passenger planes and it is only open for emergencies and freight transport.

During the lockdown period that went into force on Sunday March 22, only markets and shops selling foodstuffs and other essential groceries will remain open.

Also open are hospitals, pharmacies, petrol stations, among others while public transport is limited to service providers of these essential services.

Globally, about 380,000 coronavirus cases had been recorded by Monday, while the death toll was over 16,000 by press time, according to the World Health Organisation.
