The CS has further urged counties that are yet to hit the stipulated 300-bed capacity to do so adding that COVID-19 cases are continuing to surge.
For instance, he reiterated that there is a second wave of the deadly virus that would come with certain challenges.
“… We know that we have a second wave of this disease in the country and the balance between keeping our economy running and keeping people safe is one that is obviously creating it’s own challenges,”Kagwe said.
