Kilifi county is on high alert after 38 students from Marafa Secondary School tested positive for the novel coronavirus in a single day.
The county has been among several counties in Kenya that have borne the brunt of the fast-spreading virus that continues to wreak havoc on the health and economic sectors.
Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi said the rate of infections had reached alarming rates and was now creeping into the recently re-opened schools.
“We have started getting so many cases, especially in schools, Marafa Secondary School is one case where 38 cases were tested in a day,” Governor Kingi said.
Governor Kingi urged locals to adhere to the guidelines and protocols by the Ministry of Health, warning that slacking on these would create untold chaos across the county.
“This is a call to all of us to follow these rules and guidelines so that we can defeat the virus, if we don’t, it is not just this school but the entire county that will be in trouble,” Governor Kingi warned
