Some teams had just played three games before the government took the decision that reportedly caught clubs unaware
The Rwanda Ministry of Sports has suspended football actions in the country due to the surging number of reported coronavirus cases.
The season started on December 4 where three matches had been played but after 12 of Rayon Sports' players and staff returned positive tests, the government took the measure to curb the further spread.
Rayon received the news of the infection at their camp after they had engaged Rutsiro FC and played out a 1-1 draw in Rubavu.
