Kenya has been put under a partial lockdown since April 6 when Nairobi and the coastal city of Mombasa which account for the bulk of the positive cases witnessed controlled movement.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta hinted at reopening the economy last week including the resumption of domestic flights.
"We are going to be starting domestic flights and this is what we are going to use over the next couple of days. Because we are opening up the lockdown that we have had between inter-county lockdown and ultimately I think that's what's going to set the pace for getting a day for us to open up now once again to international flights," said Kenyatta.
Even as Adhiambo holds on to hope, she is alive to the prevailing challenge posed by easing restriction measures without proper protocols.
"I am aware of the difficult circumstance facing the government but overtime common sense has been dissolved by my emotions. I am desperate to see my child," she said.
The likely reopening of the country and subsequently the economy comes hot on the heels of a rising trajectory of positive COVID-19 cases.
As of Saturday, Kenyan positive cases stood at 7,577, with 159 people having succumbed to the disease and 2,236 recoveries.
However, even with the soaring cases, the Ministry of Health has reported that Kenya has a relatively low fatality rate of 2.29 percent compared to a global average of 6.7 percent.
