We must observe social distancing requirement, wash hands regularly, and stay at home, and only go out when absolutely necessary. Whenever out in a public place, one must wear the face mask. #KomeshaCorona

We have observed that most people are not wearing masks the proper way. A few of us hang them at our chins, until we meet a law enforcement officer. Masks act as a protective barrier to the virus, thereby reducing the possibility of infection. Let’s wear them. #KomeshaCorona

Vendors who are allowing more than one person to fit several face masks without buying are advised to package them according to sizes to limit the possibility of contamination. This is a dangerous practice which can lead to mass infection. #KomeshaCorona update
We have noticed the mushrooming of social research studies on COVID-19 pandemic by individuals & institutions. While we encourage our people to continue researching on this matter, any research must however go through @nacosti #KomeshaCorona
Our teams are continuing with the targeted testing exercise in areas we have identified as hotspots, such as Kawangware, Eastleigh & Mvita in Mombasa County to identify & isolate the infected in order to prevent further transmission. #KomeshaCorona
