Minister of Health Dr Nsanzimana Sabin announced that despite the Marburg outbreak in Rwanda, nothing has been stopped.

People continue their work as usual, but if you have any symptoms of the disease, you should immediately go for a check-up.

He returned to it this Sunday, September 29, 2024, in a press conference that returned to the image of the epidemic in Rwanda.

When asked if there are special measures including putting people at home or banning some of the vehicles, to prevent the epidemic that has already killed 6 people while 20 have been infected?

Health Minister Dr Nsanzimana Sabin said that people are continuing their normal lives and that nothing has been stopped in their normal activities.

He said: “The work, the work that everyone is going to continue, nothing that people were doing today has been recalled or stopped. What we ask for is a person who has symptoms, severe headache, pain in the joints and muscles and severe weakness, being sick or running, that is the beginning of the disease."

Minister Nsanzimana said that if he does not have these symptoms, he cannot infect others through his blood and the cells that come because it is possible only when a person is sick.

He said, “So you can't say, if you want to ride a motorcycle, we stop him without signs and the driver is wrong, but that's why we say that it comes from the role of the individual. The listener has the symptoms. We tell him that if you have the urge to go to work, it is better to call us at 114."

He said that being married as one of a million people does not prevent everyone from doing something.

 

Dr Nsanzimana agreed that a person who has it should rush to get tested early.n He said, "Someone we tell has Malaria or has a common cold and cough but they are not telling us that is the standard."

He said that Marburg's mode of transmission is different from COVID-19 because it is transmitted through the air while Marburg is transmitted through contact with the cells or blood of an infected person.

Minister Dr. Nsanzimana said that wearing a mask does not protect against Marburg although it is important in preventing other respiratory diseases.

“Wearing a mask is not a bad habit but it is not used to prevent the Marburg virus. Mouthwash protects against respiratory infections and Marburg disease is not contagious.”

He added that many ways of spreading the disease have been identified so they continue to deal with it.
