Rwanda has reported no new Marburg virus infections or deaths for nearly a week, according to the country’s health minister.
Speaking to reporters in Kigali, Health Minister Sabin Nsanzimana confirmed that there has been no "community transmission" of the virus. He emphasized that all positive cases so far have come from known contacts of infected individuals.
Nsanzimana highlighted that the last six days have seen no new cases or fatalities, attributing the control of the outbreak to the effective identification and isolation of those exposed. This, he noted, is crucial in halting the spread of haemorrhagic fevers like Marburg. See latest updates from Rwanda Ministry of Health on this link .
