The Ministry of Health has expressed concern that a second
wave of corona virus could be more detrimental to the country.
Speaking on Saturday, Health Services acting
Director-General, Patrick Amoth said the country could flatten the corona curve
in the next two weeks.
He, however, noted that he is more worried by the second
wave of the virus as it is more dangerous since it cuts across all age groups.
Dr Amoth, however, noted that the second wave is yet to hit
the country.

“There is no second wave in the country but when it strikes,
there will definitely be an emergency going by what we are witnessing in other
countries. No one will be spared.
“Whether we announce the infections or deaths daily is not anything to worry about but we should be more concerned about the second wave. This will be more dangerous,” he said as quoted by Nation.
