Hundreds of Congolese stranded in Rwanda must first prove that they are free from Covid19 before entering DRC land

hundred Congolese who would like to return to the city of Bukavu in South Kivu are stranded in Rwanda.
In an interview on Wednesday, August 05, 2020, Cosmos Bishisha, provincial minister of health specified that these Congolese must have proof that they have tested negative against Covid-19 to cross the border and return to the city ​​of Bukavu.
“With Covid-19 today, we have regulated the movement of people from one country to another. We have a protocol that we must follow. This protocol stipulates that for anyone coming from abroad  must provide proof that they are not contaminated by the virus via the laboratory test valid for 72 hours. These Congolese who are in Rwanda and who want to return to the country must present the results of the tests carried out in this country of origin to us, ”he explained.
He specifies that the rapid test for personal and / or travel reasons is chargeable at the price of $ 30 throughout the entire Democratic Republic of Congo.
It should be recalled that since last week, several Congolese who have received authorization from the DRC embassy in Rwanda to be repatriated have been blocked to cross the border for lack of test results.

To some of you Rwandese who think can come here and hide in all sorts of activities to tamper with our peace,just read this very well!we love our country and respect our people..!
