Health practitioners at the hospital ran for safety leaving dozens of patients unattended. This could easily be seen as reckless but the sad truth is, this is what happens when there are no guaranteed safety and health measures for health practitioners. These health practitioners rightfully sought their own safety unless of course, we want to pretend that Kenya is that country that protects public health practitioners. The scare around coronavirus landing in Kenya is real and goes beyond the oath health practitioner takes. Everyone, including health practitioners, is scared of this virus because Kenya rarely has the appropriate measures to stop things before they intensify.
