Yesterday Kenya marked one month since COVID-19 pandemic set foot in the country. The has been an upward trajectory in the number of infections as 197 Kenyans have contracted the virus. According to the Ministry of Health, the country is looking at core cases of COVID-19 infections in the coming months, borrowing from projections of other countries that have suffered deeply from the Pandemic.
Kenyans have been urged to wear masks in when in public places and the government has put in measures to restrict movements, so s to ensure people stay at home. Last week, President Uhuru Kenyatta banned the movement in Nairobi Metropolitan Area, Kilifi and Mombasa country to prevent the spread of the virus as these three counties had been identified as the most affected by the virus.
The government has also channelled resources into mass production of Personal Protective Equipment for frontline healthcare workers and the public. With the fear of a rise in numbers of those who might test positive for the virus, the government identified a number of schools which will be used as isolation centres during this pandemic. Here is a list of isolation centres in COVI-19 affected counties.
