As soon as Health CS Mutahi Kagwe announced a Kenyan had tested positive for the novel Coronavirus, streets in the Central Business District were flooded with hawkers vending especially face masks to Nairobians. “Pata yako, pata yako wewe, kinga Corona,” chanted the hawkers excitedly as they sold the face masks. Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water,” explained WHO. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask and ensure there are no gaps between your face and the mask. Avoid touching the mask while using it; if you do, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
