The Eastleigh Business Community is recommending Coronavirus mass testing across all the 85 wards in Nairobi. Eastleigh Business Community Secretary-General Ahmed Noor has argued as much as the cessation movement in the estate was in order, Covid-19 cases have also been reported in other city estates. “It is not enough to close down businesses but there’s also need for mass testing across the 85 wards so that the Government can effectively fight the pandemic. Traders and employees have not been able to access Eastleigh as the Government’s directive on cessation of movement took effect on May 6, 2020. The Secretary-General raised concerns that the business community was counting losses due to lack of business as malls and markets were directed to be closed.
