Matatu operators challenge Joho’s new Covid-19 directive
A Mombasa County inspectorate traffic marshal controls traffic at Barclays roundabout on August 20, 2020. Mombasa County has started experiencing a surge in number of vehicles after the lifting of movement across counties.
Mombasa County has ordered over 5,000 public service vehicles operating in its territory to start using thermo guns to screen passengers in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus ahead of Christmas and New Year festivities.
Owners are also required to fumigate the PSVs and provide sanitisers to check the spread of Covid-19 which has killed more than 100 people and infected over 7,300 others in the county.
