Rwanda National Police (RNP) on Sunday, April 12 announced the usage of drones to further raise awareness of the coronavirus pandemic in local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have added drones to our methods of raising awareness about COVID-19,” reads part of the announcement on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The development comes after the country records a total of 120 cases, of whom 18 have recovered and discharged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the police announcement also cautioned the public to avoid gathering in large groups where drones will be delivering messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Do not leave your home to view the drones, do not gather in large groups when drones deliver messages” reads part of the tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other measures taken to strengthen the fight against the pandemic spread, include social distancing, which was enforced through the country’s lockdown since March 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lockdown which was also extended on March 21 is expected to run through April 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The country also closed all of its borders and suspended passenger’s flights only keeping cargo transportation operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only cargo and returning nationals and legal residents are being allowed into the country, but the latter must undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine before they are allowed back into communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
