Players in the essential services sector have a critical role in keeping economies going, as the world is engrossed in the Covid-19 battle. Essential services are derived from a broad spectrum of sectors such as healthcare, transport and logistics, banking, food suppliers and governments. It is therefore safe to say these are the warriors on front-line in the war against the pandemic. As such, logistics providers in cargo transportation, warehousing, port and customs clearance pass the baton to other front-line sectors. Kenya has already registered one fatality and announced that more than 100 healthcare workers have tested positive to the Covid-19 virus.
