Despite the rising number of Covid-19 cases, construction work at Thwake Multipurpose dam is in progress. “This has been realised by ensuring workers at the dam site adhere to the regulations set out by the Ministry of Health,” Lentana told reporters during a routine testing for workers on Wednesday. We ensure workers are given masks, sanitiser and their temperatures taken at various entry points,” Lentana said. Nurse in charge of Thwake Project Medical Centre Eutychus Muthiani said testing has been going on at random across the site. Makueni MP Daniel Maanzo, who visited the site, said reduction of the workforce in the dam site was necessary to protect workers and the surrounding community from infection.
