“This pandemic is not the first challenge that Rwandans have faced. Rwandans have encountered so many hardships. Every time Rwandans have joined their hands and did all that was possible using all their efforts to move forward. The pandemic is also a challenge to deal with because it affects the lives of Rwandans and the country’s economy but also it reminds us what we should do in cases we encounter such a challenge; looking within our means and beyond where necessary. But we have to start by what we have within our means. That’s the lesson we have learnt over the years, every Rwandan, and I think that’s why we are not easily shaken and try to always successfully resolve our problems.” President Kagame speaks on dealing with Corona virus at a virtual press conference with local and international journalists | Kigali, 27 April 2020
