The government is now considering sending some Covid-19 patients home since many of them — 80 per cent according to the CS — are asymptomatic. So far Kenya has recorded 2,862 coronavirus cases with 85 fatalities. With the expected surge in numbers, the ministry highlighted the following procedures for home-based care for Covid-19 patients. Visitors should not be allowed in the isolation room, except the caregiver, until the patient has completely recovered from Covid-19. This should also be done before and after preparing food, before eating, after using the toilet and whenever hands look dirty.
