The third extra-ordinary session of the national and county governments’ co-ordination summit set the target of 300 isolation beds for each county so as to deal with the rising cases of infections, currently in 35 of the country's 47 counties. He said the Covid-19 health crisis offers the best opportunity for the improvement of healthcare in the country. If we fight Coronavirus from the ground up; from the County up to the National levels, we cannot fail. Mr Kagwe urged the County bosses to emulate Machakos County which he said has commissioned Jua Kali artisans to fabricate Covid-19 isolation beds. Treasury CS Ukur Yattani said his ministry was in the process of assessing the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on the economy.
