COVID-19 pandemic in Rwanda

The COVID-19 pandemic in Rwanda was a part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have reached Rwanda in March 2020. Rwanda's response to the pandemic has received international praise for its effectiveness. Despite limited resources, the country's well organised healthcare system, rapid deployment of testing procedures and high public trust in medical authorities have led to a successful public health response.[3][4][5][6] As of 15 December 2021, there were 100,763 total confirmed cases, 1,344 confirmed deaths, 7 million first vaccine shots, and 1 critical case. Quotes Our response strategy against COVID-19 has entirely been relying on a multi-sectoral coordination system led by the Prime Minister’s office. This is the reason why the technical team I’m currently heading is made of interdependent cells. It shouldn’t be me or you who spreads the COVID-19 virus. Let us continue to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Please stay home and comply with preventive measures against COVID. Lab testing capacity determines efficient COVID-19 response. As a nation, we will continue to boost our testing capacity and test as many samples as possible. External link Category:COVID-19 pandemic in Africa External links Rwanda
