"Muraho Isabelle, turabamenyesha ko ibisubizo by ikizamini mwakorewe na @RBCRwanda-Lab bigaragaza ko nta coronavirus mufite. Murakoze"

I woke up to this news thanks to @RwandaHealth's efforts to curb the spread of #Covid19, but I'm yet to heal the trauma of the past days
#Thread

Prior to requesting for testing, I was "confined" for 4days by @Rwandapolice for “breaking the law”.
My crime? drinking alcohol while waiting for my food at an "illegal" place. Now, If you thought your favourite pub/cosy corner in a hotel is considered as RESTAURANT, think again

Since the beginning of the lockdown I have kept myself informed, been careful about what I do, what I touch, where I go, whom I meet at home or in public. My experience with hospitals is long enough to know #covid19 would be hell to manage considering my medical history.

According to the cabinet resolutions of April 30th 2020, Hotels & restaurants were allowed to operate as usual but close by 7PM, however, the Cabinet Resolutions of May 18th, made no mention about the closing time but the movements were now prohibited from 9pm instead of 8pm.

There are too many unclear measures & policies that were only given by the media. In case you didn't follow them up, I would advise you to #StayAtHome because, you will end up in the wrong place, at the wrong time and be labelled UMUSINZI.

I'd like to say that I understand the work of the @Rwandapolice since the beginning of the pandemic. After all, they are not policy makers, they only enforce them; my request is for Policy makers, @Rwanda_Justice @BusingyeJohns to inform the public about emergency laws in place

If my test results had not come back negative, considering the fact I had spent 4days locked in a 4x5m room with +20 women while interacting with +80 people, all the good efforts of the past months would have been wasted and we would be back to square one. https://isatitou.com/2020/05/26/life-of-a-musinzi-in-covid19-confinement/
