Most schools, especially secondary schools, are already congested — a recipe for swift and widespread transmission of the virus. Indimuli Kahi, the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association chairman, on Friday told the Star they were awaiting directives from the Education Ministry. However, he said principals have taken precautionary measures as advised by the Health ministry to reduce chances of an outbreak. On congestion, Kahi said the ministry was best placed to address the matter as it is responsible for children's safety in schools. President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered 10 per cent transition from primary to secondary schools, making congestion worse.
