Skepticism or a new normal?
Yesterday the Ministry of Health asked the public to resume wearing of masks.This was expected as Covid 19 had,over some time now,been reported to have risen.New infections had risen,thanks perhaps to the escalating political rallies and the prevailing cold conditions in the county.
But Kenyans ara a skeptical lot.Many believe that it’s too early to be coerced into covering their faces.This is seen in the light of the fact that the Ministry has suspended the wearing of the clothe a few months back.
They believe that maybe the Ministry is foreseeing some grant or any aid from some donor or benefactor somewhere. Kenyans are wary of being used by a few people in the establishment as a conduit for personal enrichment.
The new directive by CS Kagwe comes in the wake of another directive requiring every one to take a jab meant to keep the virus at bay.Many people went for it,though the Ministry insists that the percentage total of all who took the jab is way too low by international standards.
All said and done,the donning of masks is a healthy exercise as medics insist that it’s one sure way of preventing spread of Tuberculosis and other airborne diseases.
