88 RWA Rwanda - samples tested 2020-10-28 https://gis.rbc.gov.rw/server/rest/services/Hosted/service_b580a3db9319449e82045881f1667b01/FeatureServer/0/query Rwanda Ministry of Health   204 550532 42.505 1594 0.12300000000000001 1778 0.13699999999999998 0.006999999999999999 143.05700000000002 Rwanda Ministry of Health https://www.moh.gov.rw/ The number of samples tested. The Rwanda Ministry of Health ([@RwandaHealth](https://twitter.com/RwandaHealth)) tweets press releases in English, French, and Kinyarwanda that report the number of samples tested each day. The earliest press release we have found containing testing figures is from 7 April 2020. Between 7 April 2020 and 1 May 2020 (inclusive), the press releases reported the number of samples tested today, but not the cumulative number of samples tested to date. Since 2 May 2020, the press releases have reported the cumulative number of samples tested to date as well as the number of samples tested today. We construct a daily time series since 6 April 2020 of the cumulative number of samples tested to date by subtracting daily tests between 7 April 2020 and 2 May 2020 from the 2 May 2020 cumulative total. As of 6 April 2020, 5,701 samples had been tested to date. It is unclear when the first samples were tested. It is unclear whether the reported figures include tests for which the results are pending. Prior to 17 April 2020, the press releases reported testing figures using the language "samples tested". From 17 April 2020 onwards, the press releases have used the ambiguous language "tests today". We assume that "tests today" still refers to the number of samples tested. Note that, due to the way the data is presented by the official source, the time series may be impacted by retrospective revisions made by the source – see our [FAQ here](https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-testing#does-your-data-reflect-retrospective-updates-made-by-the-source). Since 26 October 2020, we collect this data automatically based on an [ArcGIS dashboard](https://gis.rbc.gov.rw/server/rest/services/Hosted/service_b580a3db9319449e82045881f1667b01/FeatureServer/0/query) that provides a daily snapshot of cumulative tests.
