As of Wednesday, this week, Kenya had confirmed seven cases of coronavirus. Since last week, many other African countries, including Tanzania, Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo, South Africa and Nigeria, had recorded their first cases of the virus.
Judging from what happened in China, Italy, South Korea, and Iran, Kenya had time to prevent an outbreak and plan a comprehensive response to contain it and save lives. Since January, coronavirus has put healthcare systems on their knees in countries considered as developed.
