[File, Standard]Some 36 teachers have died of Covid-19 since March as calls to tighten reopening plans rise. Overall, the schema data, however, shows teachers who have died of coronavirus are way smaller compared to monthly data of deaths from other conditions. Between October and November, data from Minet Kenya, the teachers’ insurance provider, shows that some 928 teachers have died from conditions not related to Covid-19. “Our examination of cases indicates that most teachers who have died from the virus had pre-existing health conditions,” said Misori. Misori said the union has written to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), expressing concerns over the management of teachers with pre-existing health conditions.
