Narok County Governor Samuel Ole Tunai has called upon security personnel to enforce Covid-19 safety protocols saying laxity among residents has led to an exponential rise of positive cases in the County.
Addressing the media yesterday, Ole Tunai said 14 new cases have been reported in the County with 7 people isolated in Ololunga isolation centre, which has a capacity of 300 beds installed with oxygen machines.
He said that the County is adequately prepared to tackle the third wave of the pandemic indicating that all 210 health centres have isolation centres set aside to handle Covid-19 patients.
Ole Tunai urged residents to take the jab which is being given for free in health care facilities across the County.
Narok county commissioner, Evans Achoki said the County has deployed more police officer and health workers within the entire County to ensure Covid-19 protocols are strictly adhered to.
“An emergency Covid-19 response team that will help in giving first aid before the patient is taken to hospital has been set up in efforts save more lives,” he said.
He further warned students who are at home to avoid moving around in crowded places to prevent spread of the virus.
