The East African country of Rwanda has employed a creative method for preventing infection after the global outbreak of COVID-19: portable wash basins. While Rwanda has no registered cases of the virus so far, the hand wash stations are a preventive measure.
The capital city, Kigali, has mandated that everyone must wash their hands before boarding public transport like buses. Seen above is the setup at a bus station in Kigali, where multiple hand wash stations surround the bus station for commuters to use.
