The Likoni pedestrian footbridge at Liwatoni in Mombasa has slowed the spread of Covid-19 in the area, the government has said.

Mombasa County Commissioner Gilbert Kitiyo said yesterday the bridge was being used by at least 200,000 people daily since March this year and as a result, the infections had dropped.
