Businesses in Rwanda have resumed normal operations Saturday after the government lifted the night curfew that has been in place for two years since the Covid-19 pandemic hit in March 2020.

The decision comes as Covid-19 cases drop and after Rwanda reached its Covid-19 vaccination target of fully vaccinating 60 percent of the population or 7.8 million out of 12.9 million population on March 4.
