| dc.description.abstract | Millions of people across the globe are currently at a risk of infection of SARS-Cov-2,
have been infected and others have died. The coronavirus has spread worldwide despite
the multiple countermeasures to limits its transmission. Kenya recorded its first case of
COVID-19 on March 13, 2020. The data on the pandemic and evolution was gotten
from the Kenyan Ministry of Health (MoH). This paper aims at examining the
evolution of COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya and the highlights on the different
measures taken to stem its progression between March 13, 2020 and May 4, 2020.
After 7 weeks of the pandemic, the number of confirmed positive cases in Kenya
reached 490 with 24 deaths and 144 recoveries. The wearing of masks was
implemented on April 5, 2020 by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in order to flatten the
curve and allow the healthcare officials curb the pandemic. Therefore, the impact of
this measure can be accessed by checking on the evolution of the curve in coming
weeks. Sharing of these results can serve as an example to other countries the measures
taken on the fight against COVID-19. | en_US |
