Sectors worst hit by new Covid-19 guidelines

Entertainment industry

Musicians and different artists across the country were hoping that the President would hearken to their cry and provide a return to work formulas they have been home since mid-March.


Most stakeholders in the entertainment industry rely on shows and concerts as a way of living, but the president did not issue any announcement regarding re-opening of such public gatherings, meaning that the same is still on hold.

Artists were hopeful for re-opening of their sector as a number of politicians had been spotted engaging large crowds across the country.

Transport Sector

Ahead of the address, stakeholders in the transport sector especially long-distance travel were hopeful that the dusk to dawn curfew will be lifted to allow night travel. However, the extension of the curfew still provides a hurdle for them, meaning that a person travelling from Kisumu to Malindi may have to start very early or travel for two days.
