The team must make Kenyans feel that the government is doing all that is possible to protect their physical and emotional health. Most Kenyans support extension of the nationwide curfew and closure of borders of epicentre counties for a further 21 days. They are asking for more stringent measures that include a total lockdown, initially of coronavirus hotspot counties. However, total lockdown will shorten time and minimise loss of human lives and should not be delayed. Therefore the government should prepare Kenyans for a possible total lockdown as part of an exit strategy, at least in coronavirus epicentre counties.
