The national campaign to spray against mosquitoes aimed at controlling the spread of malaria in the country has been impromptly suspended just two days after it had started in Nyagatare and Gisagara districts.
This sudden halting of the spray exercise aroused a string of unsubstantiated rumours. The exercise had been launched at the beginning of August.
Information from Rwanda Biomedical center (RBC) indicated that the exercise was suddenly suspended owing to the death of one of the staff that was involving in the spraying exercise.
The exercise will not resume until results of a Postmortem conducted on the deceased are released to determine the exact cause of his death.
Over 240 homes were scheduled to be sprayed in districts of Nyagatare, Bugesera and Gisagara.
