Covid-19 has hit Kisumu County hard. The spike in cases began in May when the “double mutant” Indian variant was detected and the county named a “hotbed of coronavirus.”
Rising hospital admissions, however, followed after the county hosted the Madaraka Day celebrations on June 1 when residents blatantly ignored Covid-19 protocols.
Medical experts warned that the proper effect of dispensing with Covid-19 protocols would only be felt two weeks after the celebrations. Indeed, within one week between June 14 and June 20, new cases rose by 582, according to the Lake Region Economic Bloc.
