Let's embrace those who have recovered from Covid-19Daily statistics from the Health ministry continue to show a rise in the number of Covid-19 infections. On the positive side, however, we continue to register recoveries and mercifully we have had few deaths so far. But while the positive aspects buoy our spirits and give us hope that we shall overcome as long as we stay within certain guidelines, a few of those who tested positive and later recovered now contend with stigma. Yesterday, Dr Mercy Mwangangi, Health CAS, decried the unfortunate incidences of stigmatisation of those who have recovered and urged society to accept them. The need for public sensitisation cannot be over-emphasised because the public lacks adequate information on coronavirus apart from the don’ts.
