The Murang’a government has closed all bars in two villages in Gatanga subcounty over increased Covid-19 infections. The villages have recorded about 50 infections in the last two weeks and have lost seven people to the disease. Health executive Joseph Mbai said even those placed under home-based care are unable to seclude themselves to protect their families. He said the number of patients admitted to Murang’a County Referral Hospital has increased in the last two weeks from 10 to 31. We are asking the people of Murang’a to take extra care because the numbers are soaring,” Mbai said.
