A man and his wife have died after their son refused to self-isolate despite being Covid-19 positive, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said on Saturday. Kagwe revealed how the man who had tested positive believed the virus was a myth and travelled home to visit his parents. “I received news that a son who tested and turned positive for coronavirus but refused to acknowledge the results because he believed the virus was a myth; went home, infected the parents and sister. His refusal to self-isolate saw the family lose the head of the family, two weeks after they lost and buried the mother. My brother and sisters, I can only implore you to accept that Covid-19 is a reality, Kenyans don’t have to die: this is a condition we can control.
