COMMENTARY
As Kenyans gear up for the festive season, which is already around the corner, we must remind ourselves that Covid-19 is spread through contact with an infected person.
Kenya is currently in a second wave, which can be made worse through community spread.
It is not in doubt that during the festive month of December, majority of Kenyans lower their guards, a behaviour that could catalyse the spread of coronavirus. We need to be reminded that the new surge in numbers can only be arrested by simple public health measures of wearing facemasks correctly while in public spaces, applying correct hand hygiene at all times, and adhering to the physical and social distancing guidelines and protocols put in place to safeguard our individual and collective health and safety.
