What you need to know:

  • The medics said they have not been properly trained on handling Covid-19, lack the appropriate  protective gear and most  are now experiencing burnout.
  • Clinical officers’ union chairman Peterson Wachira said medics are at high risk of getting the disease because they don’t have adequate protective gear.

Health workers have said they are struggling to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic and are ill-prepared to face the swelling numbers  as more medics get infected.

As the national and county health workers tackle the  pandemic, they say they are heading for a crisis without the necessary resources.
