Rwanda has become the first East African nation to suspend direct flights between Kigali and southern African countries following last week’s discovery of Omicron, a new Covid-19 variant.

The country has also imposed a seven-day quarantine for passengers arriving in Kigali who have recently been to countries affected by the coronavirus variant.
