Three more cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed in Tunisia, taking the total to five.
Health officials say the latest confirmed infections on Monday are in the northern port city of Bizerte, the southern resort town of Mehdia, and in the capital Tunis – they did not specify which countries they had travelled from.
The first two had travelled from Italy.
An official letter from the ministry of health asked Tunisians to postpone all conferences as a precautionary measure and to avoid inviting guests from countries highly affected by infections.
In another development the Authorities in Rwanda’s capital Kigali have banned concerts and public gatherings because of fears of the coronavirus.
There is no confirmed case of coronavirus yet in Rwanda.
Residents are divided on the new measures. Some have turned to social media to applaud the preventive move, but others see it as heavy-handed given Rwanda doesn’t have one single coronavirus case at the moment.
The first gig to be affected was an International Women’s Day concert, featuring the singer Cécile Kayirebwa, which was cancelled hours before it was due to start.
