Among the requirements include at least a 300-bed capacity, adoption of a triage system at the county level, enhanced capacity to detect and manage cases among others.
Chemutai Alonzo, a 21-year-old walked into her sister's living room in Nairobi's Umoja estate, ready to chat with her parents only that their conversation will be over Zoom.
Her parents have been stuck in Tanzania due to a presidential decision that saw the closure of the Kenya-Tanzania border to control the spread of COVID-19.
"I anticipate that the president's declaration will facilitate the opening of the Kenya-Tanzania border so that I can see my parents," said Alonzo.
Alonzo's parents are traders based in Tanzania for close to five years but the uNPRecedented closure of the border led to a hiatus in the business and separation from their two daughters.
"A zoom call cannot substitute the physical presence of having my parents around, I look forward to seeing them soon," Alonzo said.
The Kenyan Ministry of Health has reiterated the risks that accompany the lifting of restriction measures noting that the responsibility of curbing the disease lies on citizens adhering to hygiene measures and social distancing.
"We are aware that restriction measures have led to adverse social-economic consequences and have generated intense pressure to have the measures relaxed," said Rashid Aman, Chief Administrative Secretary in the Ministry of Health of Kenya.
