Speaking during covid-19 briefing in Othaya, Nyeri County, Health CS Kagwe said combating coronavirus will only be achieved if everyone takes part in the fight.
“Cutting the cycle of coronavirus transmission cannot be won by Government alone without the involvement of the people. Success will depend on the level of involvement of the people,” said Kagwe.
Nyeri county has recorded 9 covid-19 cases so far with three of the cases being healthcare workers.
He said the Ministry of Health will continue to work with Nyeri by offering support to upgrade the county human resource and equipment capacity.
