President Uhuru Kenyata said that his team was looking into several measures to contain the virus, and the lockdown was not an exception.

“We are going through that difficult time where we are now wondering what to do. Do we close up? We shall be coming back to that,” he stated.

Despite being concerned about the recent spike, the Head of State said that some people who downplayed the measures imposed by MoH to contain the virus are to blame for the recent spike.

“We don’t have to close if only people would observe and would be caring for their fellow citizens. It is possible to keep Covid-19 at bay and lead a normal life,” he added.

“We are in a precarious situation at the moment that we must act fast, to prevent further escalation of the virus.

“But of priority is the closure of bars, which we believe are the epicentre of the virus spread,” stated Oparanya to the press.

As the CoG continues to reveal its concern over the pandemic, the Acting Director-General of Health, Dr. Patrick Amoth, confirmed that the state was disturbed by the masses’ continued disregard of protocols.

“We already have several options on the table and anything is possible as long as it is in the best interest of the country,” he stated.
