Kenya has confirmed one more coronavirus case, bringing the total to 16 in the country.
Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe made the confirmation on Monday, March 23, in the regular coronavirus briefings.
The CS said that all coronavirus patients are in stable condition, adding that the Health ministry is still waiting for result for 11 other suspected cases.
Hiked fares
Mr. Kagwe also condemned matatu and bus operators for hiking fees following his directive for public vehicle passengers to carry fewer passengers.
“This is immoral for the matatu sector to increase fares. We kindly request for them to stop,” urged Mr. Kagwe.
The Health CS apologised for commuters who were inconvenienced following his directive on Sunday.
Further, the minister urged hotel managers to provide 50 per cent to 75 per cent discount to passengers quarantined at their facilities, saying the move is part of corporate social responsibility.
