Today, after almost a month in operation, in interviews with different restaurants and salons, The New Times learnt that owners struggle to enforce physical distancing.
Asked whether distance was a concern at his restaurant, the Manager, Pacific Barirwanda replied that it is hard to convince a group of people who came to eat together to sit apart.
"We understand why physical distance is required but given our situation, if we asked customers to keep the distance, we could lose a big number of them," he said.
Service providers and clients are all in one room with face masks but 1-meter distance is barely kept.
Kayinamura says if he convinced them to keep the distance, his salon would barely accommodate five customers at once.
