Coronavirus: Rwandans should stay calm and follow guidelines - Manzi

Armée Patriotique Rwandaise (APR) FC captain Thierry Manzi has called on football fans to heed government advice on prevention of the coronavirus as the country seeks to return to normalcy.

The Rwanda Premier League and all sporting activities were suspended on March 15 after the government rolled out a raft of measures, including banning large gatherings and urging the public to observe social distancing, as well as limit their movement and to work from home where possible.

Members of the public were also urged to practice recommended precautionary measures, including washing hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizers to clean their hands and suspicious surfaces.
