IMHO, all too late. I

t will take huge amounts of testing and contact tracing to get a grip on this thing. Eastleigh is a bustling economic hub that draws merchants from all over Kenya and East Africa. How many have come and left multiple times since February?
and from the time he announced people are fleeing isich in droves, what a great way to spread the virus.
think @Deep Sea is their weed supplier at Afya hse as what they taking is very special

If Gathecha had balls in the right place he should have gone the M7 way and announce a partial lockdown.
These stop gap measures will eventually lead to a full blown pandemic all over.
As it stands, March and April will seem wasted effort.
March April are wasted efforts already.

Seems like the people in Eastleigh and Old Town are still congregating, probably even having meals together communally, the rate of infections there is clearly fuelled by clusters.

Wafungiwe kabisa until they have infected 80% of residents there.
