Coronavirus: Mandatory Quarantine For All Caught Breaking Curfew Rule

The Ministry of Health will have you quarantined at your own cost if you are caught loaming past the curfew hours as confirmed Coronavirus cases in Kenya hit 270 and Kenyans are barely bothered enough to ensure self-discipline in adhering to the set measures.

The 270 confirmed Coronavirus cases rose from Saturday’s, 18th April 2020, 262 cases and were among 1330 samples tested between Saturday and Sunday midday the Health CAS Doctor Mercy Mwangangi announced saying the rate of infections in the community was worrying the Ministry.

CAS Doctor Mercy Mwangangi was also glad to note that the country had registered seven more new recoveries bringing the total of recoveries to 67 since the Pandemic hit Kenya on 13th March 2020 turning the lives of Kenyans upside down.

Kenya sadly has also lost two more lives in the last 24 hours to the Coronavirus pandemic raising the number of fatalities to the virus to a total of 14 fatalities which seem to have done very little to waken Kenyans to the crisis facing them unless they make an urgent turnaround and be disciplined in adhering to the measures set by the Health Ministry.

The Health CAS also noted that the government was monitoring 2,661 individuals in its quarantine centers and urging them too to also adhere strictly to the Ministry of Health measures lest they have to be quarantined all over again.

The Ministry of Health has released 2,047 individuals after they did their quarantine time and tested negative twice while the ministry of Health is working round the clock to trace 614 individuals identified as having been exposed to the virus after having come into contact with those that have tested positive.

All those who break the curfew rules will be assumed to have been in contact with people who have coronavirus and will be taken to quarantine places for 14 days, it is the only way to get Kenyans to adhere to the curfew it seems.

The curfew which had Kenyans beaten up for breaking the rule on the onset took a lighter tone when activists and Kenyans widely came out to complain police brutality which seemed to have sent the law enforcers on a back seat but now the Ministry of Health has come up with a way to ensure Kenyans stick to the curfew.

A tough-talking Health CAS Doctor Mercy Mwangangi on Sunday, 19th April 2020, said the government would no longer tolerate cases of Kenyans being found outside during curfew hours.

” All those who break the curfew rules will be assumed to have been in contact and will hence be taken to quarantine facilities for 14 days,” Doctor Mercy Mwangangi said and with the increased rate of community transmission adhering to all the safety measures will soon be a matter of life or death.

“Nobody has the authority to clear anybody to move from Nairobi other than the Ministry of Health,” Doctor Mercy Mwangangi said.
