New cases brought Rwanda's national tally to 5,312 |
Rwanda has reported 27 new COVID-19 cases in the Nyarugenge
Prison in Kigali, taking the daily count to 50, the highest in the past two
months.
The other cases were found in Kirehe and Rwamagana districts
in the Eastern Province and Rubavu district in the Western Province, said the
daily update of the Health Ministry.
The new cases brought the national tally to 5,312. The total
recoveries and deaths rose to 4,974 and 41 respectively, with seven new
recoveries and one more death reported over the past 24 hours. The outbreak in
Kigali's prison came after Health Minister Daniel Ngamije on Monday revealed 13
cases in Rwamagana's prison. At that time he said the government is going to
tighten measures in places with a high concentration of people, such as markets,
parks and prisons until a vaccine is introduced.
