Earlier
this week, Health CAS Rashid Aman lauded Kenyan celebrities who have come out
publicly to pronounce their COVID-19 status.
Speaking
during the daily COVID-19 briefings at Afya House, Nairobi, CAS Aman encouraged
more people to come out as it’s one way to destigmatize the disease.
“Media
personalities as I have read in the papers, I think it’s a positive thing when
people in high office or who are celebrities or in media, come out
and pronounce their status.
“That is one way to destigmatize the disease,” said CAS
Aman.
