City authorities in Kigali have banned concerts, rallies and other mass gatherings in the capital as a preventive measure against coronavirus, despite Rwanda recording no confirmed cases of the illness.
The policy does not extend to venues hosting smaller numbers of people such as wedding venues, churches, hotels, restaurants, bars, and sports clubs — which were told to apply “good hygiene practises” and supply soaps and hand washes.
