The Director General of Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC), Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana has urged the public not to let their guard down in the fight against Covid-19, following a sustained decline in daily registered cases. He said this after the country on Monday, October 5, recorded a single Covid-19 positive case detected in Kigali, and 10 recoveries. The results were obtained from 1,988 sample tests taken in the last 24 hours. Since September 24, Rwanda has been recording less than 15 daily infections, and most notably single digits for much of the past one week. The achievement is a milestone compared to the month of August and the beginning of September when the country often reported an upward of 100 new Covid-19 cases daily. On this note, Nsanzimana emphasized that observing Covid-19 preventive should not be neglected. “Let’s not be complacent in our individual responsibility to protect ourselves and others. Our behavior today determines tomorrow’s numbers,” he tweeted. Since the outbreak of the pandemic in Rwanda, the country has confirmed a total of 4,867 Covid-19 cases of whom 3,226 have already recovered. The country’s Covid-19 death toll so far stands at 29 people. Concerning testing, in total, Rwanda has carried out 506,658 tests of Covid-19.
