The short-lived joy of Kenyans that the country had started flattening the virus curve is now being replaced with fears of a second wave after a surge in new confirmed cases. The worrying fact is that the virus is spreading rapidly across the country apart from the hotspot counties of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kiambu and Kajiado. The virus cases declined between August and September, with the country even at one point recording below 30 cases. On September 28, President Uhuru Kenyatta eased Covid-19 restrictions and partially reopened the economy following a decline in the cases. The President allowed bars to resume their operations, hoping that the bar owners would put in place mechanisms to prevent further spread of Covid-19.
