Comment: But when essential staff are being beaten by folks who are behaving like thugs in uniform, how is this adding value to the fight against #COVID19? 🤦🏿‍♂️

7 new confirmed cases of #COVID19, by #Kenya's Health CS. Total case count stands at 38, as of March 28.

If we want to avoid the cases that other countries are experiencing, we must do what other countries have done, Health CS appeals.

Kagwe: "It is important, fellow Kenyans, that we follow these rules, otherwise ahead will be very stark times."

#Kenya Health CS, Kagwe: "It is very interesting that people are asking for a lockdown, but they're unable to follow a curfew."

#Kenya Health CS Kagwe: "A lockdown is worse than a curfew. A lockdown means that you don't leave your house, period." The measures we have taken are trying as hard as possible to stay away from a lockdown, the Health CS says.

#Kenya Health CS: "There is not a single estate in #Nairobi that has not been touched, among the 28 cases I have mentioned. The person you're standing next to right now, could be positive."

#Kenya Health CS: "You are not quarantined because you have committed a crime. Speaking on a personal level, I have a son, who is in quarantine. I have a niece who is in quarantine."
