Kenyans must not lower their guard against Covid, it is still here with us

There is a deceptive lull sweeping through the country despite a steep rise in numbers of confirmed Covid-19 positive cases. Since some controls aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus were eased, majority of Kenyans seem to have lowered their guard against the devastating disease. This is really worrying because the contagion is still rife and spreading like a wild fire.

There was palpable apprehension when the first case was announced in March and the daily press conferences by the Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe sent a chilling message. The number of positive cases announced daily and the warnings from the ministry alarmed the majority who adhered to the public health protocols.
