KIGALI, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Rwandan President Paul Kagame said Monday that the East African Community (EAC) countries need to sustain efforts to promote cooperation and harmonization of certain policies in cross-border activities such as movement of cargo trucks
"While we had really taken full control of the situation (of COVID-19) and reined in the virus, and registered more recoveries than active cases," all of a sudden cross-border activities increased rapidly, Kagame told a virtual press conference.
"There is no better way of dealing with that than through regional cooperation and coordination and understanding each other, so that we (can) manage this common problem," he said.
The Rwandan health ministry stressed a rise in the cases of cross-border truck drivers and their assistants in its daily COVID-19 update since April 24.
As of Monday evening, Rwanda reported 207 cases and 93 recoveries from COVID-19. Enditem
