Yesterday, Kenya recorded 130 more new infections of Covid-19, bringing the country’s caseload to 95,843.
Two more patients have died from the complications of the virus in the past 24 hours, taking the total fatalities to 1,655.
Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said he would spend his Christmas in the office mulling over the new variant of Covid-19, and ‘‘praying that it doesn’t visit us at all’’. He wished that Kenyans would observe health protocols in their celebrations.
Then came Christmas Day and Kenyans threw all caution to the wind. By the hundreds, they gathered in public places, making merry with friends, family and strangers alike without a care in the world. Health experts now fear the country could be staring at an explosion of cases in the coming days.
