During the covid-19 brief, the health CS announced that 189 new cases have been recorded in the past 24 hours bringing the totoal number of cases to 10294. He added that over the same period, the ministry had recorded 12 deaths and 65 recoveries.
The CS, while updating the nation, he asked Kenyans no to doubt presence of the disease in the country.
While answering the journalists' questions, he said covid-19 is real like other diseases like HIV/Aids and expressed his embarrassment on a section of Kenyans who were not giving the disease the seriousness it deserves.
"Now the information is this; there is COVID-19. Even a little kid in the streets of Niarobi knows that they can get it and you can get it. Who are those other people who we are told don't know there is covid-19? And how long do you think it will take them to accept there is this disease?"said Mutahi Kagwe.
He added," One thing I know is that if somebody is in denial, then he is in denial and there is nothing more I can do about it. One thing I know is that one of these fine days, that denial will dissappear."
He gave an example of other countries who were denying the disease's presence in their countries. He said while they were denying the reality, the truth is that people were dying and are still dying of the disease.
"Even countries have told us that they are in denial that there is covid-19. Some even went to the extend of declaring there is nothing like covid-19 but very big people died of the disease. If you go to the same places now, people will tell you there is COVID-19," said the CS.
His message, though it was to meant for kenyans, appeared to have been directed to citizens of other countries who were still publicly denying of the presence of the disease.
Tanzania being an example, president Magufuli had been criticised by western countries over his country's response to the disease.
As other countries closed churches and mosques to curb the spread of the disease, Magufuli asked the faithfuls to continue attending churches and other religious places and pray for the country.
