The onset and the spread of coronavirus was a test of the readiness, capabilities, and integrity of our national and county health systems. Additionally, donated PPE for health workers went missing, only later to be sold back to the government. Our country's leadership failed the integrity test, but succeeded in making the situation escalate into other issues such as degradation in mental health and preventable infections. Infectious disease experts have said that it is about time that we learnt to live with coronavirus, using safety measures at all times. Above all, our focus should be heavy on preventive health, rather than treatment, as it is at the moment.
