Dr. Kwayabura further urged the residents to wear face masks when leaving their homes, and wash their hands when they return.
The daily media update has been rescheduled to be holding every Monday and Thursday going forward.
This is to enable the committee gather more information to give out, rather than holding daily update with no clear cut information, this was also announced by the state Commissioner of information Mujahid Babakura Abba Jato.
He however said that, should there be any emergency situation that the public need to be informed, an extra media update will be summoned.
