The Director-General of Rwanda Biomedical Centre, Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana, has said that the record-high numbers of Covid-19 cases registered on Saturday should not scare people, but rather should be a wakeup call that the pandemic has gone nowhere.
Yesterday Saturday, June 13, Rwanda reported 31 new Covid-19 confirmed cases- the highest since mid-March when the country registered her first case.
According to Nsanzimana, though Saturday's numbers were the highest Rwanda has recorded in one day, they appeared in the usual areas - not in new places of the country
"They (the cases) did not come from somewhere new.
For example in Rusizi, there were large numbers of Rwandans that returned to the country yesterday, and these had a big share among those that tested positive on the day."
Rwanda Biomedical Centre yesterday carried out 2,043 sample tests from which the 31 positive cases were found.
