Rwanda has been ranked first in Africa and sixth globally in managing the Covid-19 pandemic and making the information accessible to the public.

In a total of 98 countries worldwide, the Australian think tank Lowy Institute rated their degree in terms of overall success in handling the pandemic within 36 weeks when they registered their 100th case of Coronavirus.

With over 4,000 daily tests and up to 853,238 in total by Wednesday, Rwanda has expanded its testing capacity. A total of 14,529 Covid-19 cases with 9,234 recoveries have been reported.

It has recorded up to 183 deaths, which is 1.3 percent of the people infected.

The study showed that the pandemic was successfully dealt with by fewer communities, stable economies and competent organizations.

Using confirmed metrics such as confirmed cases, deaths, cases per million people, deaths per million people, the percentage of tests and tests per thousand people, the fourteen day rolling averages of new daily figures have been measured.

Tanzania and Burundi were among the countries not ranked, alongside China, due to a lack of publicly accessible testing results.
