Rwanda has recorded a spike in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks that has brought the total number to 6,349 cases. According to the Ministry of Health’s daily report, 40-70 cases have been recorded every day for the last two weeks.

The spike is the most consistent Rwanda has recorded. The Minister of Health, Dr. Daniel Ngamije said that part of the increase in cases was as a result of imported cases especially from European and neighbouring countries that are having another wave of increased infections.
