Those placed under #GumaMuRugo (lockdown), be compliant; those in different tasks and errands, respect the safety directives. <\/p>\n<p>I respect it too; #NtabeAriNjye to be infected or to infect others with Coronavirus. Be responsive, add your voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Johnston Busingye (@BusingyeJohns), said: \u201cCovid-19 statistics are available every night. We know how the virus is spread.<br \/>\nThe reason why cases continue to be detected in new places is because you and I did not comply with the recommended precautionary measures. Watch out! Beware! Beware! Beware. #SimbeariNjye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Sports, Aurore Mimosa Munyangaju (@AuroreMimosa), reminded the general public to respect the sports guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFight Covid-19, #NtabeAriNjye; don\u2019t be the reason for sports activities, once again, to be allowed only indoor.
