"Malls, supermarkets flouting Covid-19 measures risk closure"

Health CAS Dr Rashid Aman has warned malls and supermarkets flouting state Covid-19 guidelines by allowing crowding in their facilities that they risk closure. Dr Aman said such facilities face closure for endangering the lives of Kenyans by also ignoring social distancing rules meant to contain the spread of coronavirus. This is after a spot check done by the health ministry revealed that malls and supermarkets are slowly allowing in more persons than allowed at a given time. Lowering our guard, he said, would be a very dangerous thing for Kenyans. “For example here in Nairobi, you will find the malls and supermarkets are fully packed. I want to caution the management of such facilities like supermarkets, malls and others that are not adhering to the measures that we have put in place including social distancing and the number of persons that can enter the facilities at a given time. “These facilities face closure if they fail to abide by the guidelines of the government,” Dr Aman warned.
