The cabinet chaired by President Paul Kagame on 19 February allowed more businesses to resume partly or fully effective February 23, on condition that they all observe all measures put in place to contain more spread of COVID-19. The cabinet, first of all, re-arranged the curfew hours that will cover night hours from 8PM through 4PM despite businesses having to close at 6 PM to prepare people to head home. Staff in public offices will resume business, with 30% alternating at the office and the rest working from home.
