Stakeholders are mulling a halt to the gradual reopening of schools as a second wave of coronavirus infections appears imminent. Several schools have reported cases of Covid-19 since reopening last week after seven months of closure due to the pandemic. Both the Star of the Sea Secondary and Tononoka secondary schools have been closed. Indimuli Kahi, the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association chairman, argues that subsequent reopening of the remaining classes will affect social distancing measures. Kahi who also sat in the committee that recommended the reopening of schools says the surge in infections means it is no longer safe for a continuation of gradual reopening.
