The end-of-year awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in the country's capital of Kigali on December 13. Appearance at the ceremony is mandatory for Formula 1 championship winners. According to the latest data from the Rwandan Health Ministry, 58 cases of infection have been recorded in the country, with 13 people having died. Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the outbreak of infectious Marburg virus disease in Rwanda poses a low global risk but a high regional risk. The virus causes severe viral hemorrhagic fever in humans and is transmitted to people from fruit bats and spreads through direct contact with infected biological fluids. The disease begins acutely, with high fever, severe headache and malaise. There are no vaccines or antiviral medications authorized for its treatment, according to WHO.
