The virus has also affected healthcare workers in the United States. The Kenyan health workers join a growing chorus of their American counterparts, who say they’re battling the virus with far too little armour as shortages force them to reuse personal protective equipment. “We do confirm that a number of our healthcare workers were exposed to a Covid-19 case by virtue of non-disclosure by the patient on their travel history. It’s high time we adopted the necessary measures to prevent further infections on healthcare workers,” Mr Opetu said. He said that if such measures are not adhered to, then the government should be ready to quarantine more health workers as witnessed in other countries.
