Lately, 19-year-old Mercy Nasieku has been living in fear. She wears a mask and gloves, and locks herself in her house. 

Nasieku from Kajiado County, suffers from lupus disease and dreads contracting Covid-19. She has every reason to be afraid, because she's among the high risk individuals whose immunity is already compromised.
