Covid-19: Atheists call for lockdown, says curfew not enoughAtheists in Kenya have asked the government to institute a national lockdown to mitigate the spread of coronavirus arguing that dusk to dawn curfew is not enough. The group said those who move around during the day risk contracting the disease and infecting their close family members at night when indoors. “Despite the night curfew, we know that if there are people who are infected and are indoors during the night curfew, they could still infect the rest of the household anyway,” they said. President Uhuru Kenyatta on March 25, 2020, declared a national curfew within Kenyan territory from 7 pm to 5 am to control the movement of people and subsequently the spread of the virus. Kenya’s cases rose yesterday to 38 after 7 more patients tested positive for the coronavirus.
