Secondary school heads in Kisii have said reopening of schools before full control of Covid-19 is dangerous. "The reopening of schools will endanger the lives of not only learners but also teachers and their parents,” Onchoke told the Star on the phone. Onchoke said if reopening was allowed, social distancing would not be realistic since some schools have between 500 and 1,000 learners. Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka said education stakeholders should be consulted before school reopening dates and other modalities are announced. Epidemiologist Mark Nanyingi said Covid-19 cases were likely to rise if schools and social places reopened.
