Deputy President William Ruto has asked Kenyans to adhere to the guidelines provided by the government in checking the spread of the coronavirus.

He said Kenyans had the most critical role to play in the management of the deadly virus by observing personal hygiene. 

“Let us all play our roles in ensuring that we minimise the harm that may be caused by the coronavirus,” he explained.

 Ruto was speaking during a prayer service at the Friends Church in Lang’ata, Nairobi. 

Besides observing high standards of hygiene, the Deputy President asked Kenyans to limit  unnecessary human contact.

He lauded religious outfits in the country for taking proactive measures in sensitising the public on the dangerous virus. He added that education institutions had been issued with general rules that would help guarantee the safety of learners.

The DP said the government would continue updating Kenyans on the status of the virus in the country.

Lang’ata MP Nixon Korir, who had accompanied the Deputy President, said the only way Kenya would defeat coronavirus was for the people to strictly adhere to the government’s advisory.

Nairobi Friends Church presiding clerk Stephen Magwilu announced that all its branches had been issued with an advisory to adhere to the government guidelines on the coronavirus prevention battle.
