I have a restaurant and I want to keep my clients safe. What can I do to ensure their safety while still doing business?

Answer: On May 11th, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) issued a new notice to all hospitality establishments, such as restaurants, hotels and coffee shops. This notice requires that all customers visiting these establishments MUST register the following:

  • Full names
  • Telephone numbers
  • Time of visit
  • District of residence

These new measures will ensure that the Government of Rwanda can conduct contact tracing if and when new cases of COVID-19 are discovered. Note that this information will be kept confidential and not shared.

Hotels, coffee shops and restaurants have been allowed to open since May 4th, 2020, but they must close by 7:00 pm each day. They must also install hygiene stands so that customers and staff can wash their hands, or apply hand sanitizer when they enter. As with all businesses, all employees must wear a mask – and customers too! And always keep a distance of one meter in-between

Gyms, nightclubs, bars, churches, and other large gathering places will stay closed until further notice.

Be Alert! If you are part of the hospitality sector, make sure to stay up-to-date by following RDB and the Ministry of Trade and Industry for announcements on loans and other measures, as well as keeping in touch with your association, chamber and PSF so that you know what is available to your business.
