Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Rashid Aman, while giving the country’s status report on Monday, warned counties against easing restrictions set by the ministry.
The ministry’s warning came after it emerged that counties including Nakuru had started closing isolation centres.
Last week, Nakuru shut down the Langalanga and Bondeni isolation centres, Health executive Kariuki Gichuki saying the number of Covid-19 patients requiring admission had significantly dropped.
The Ministry of Health has asked counties to stop closing Covid-19 isolation centres as this will put lives in danger should there be a surge in cases.
Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Rashid Aman, while giving the country’s status report on Monday, also warned counties against easing restrictions set by the ministry.
