Many cases were reported nearly two weeks ago in Rusizi.
Under total lockdown, a large part of the district is isolated along with Rubavu district, also from the western province.
The cabinet meeting that was convened today is expected to give further instruction on the direction the country should take, two weeks after the resumption of public transportation and moto-taxi transportation between provinces.
