I started tracking Coronavirus in January this year when it became apparent that the virus would significantly impact Chinese economic performance and by extension that of the entire world. My interest in the subject was impacts on oil industry. And the virus rapidly spread from China, through Europe, USA, finally landing in Kenya in mid-March. As we enter the third month, Kenya had recorded 672 Covid-19 related cases and 32 deaths.
Statistically, and by any global comparison, Kenya appears to be managing the virus invasion fairly well, considering our socio-economic challenges. It is also apparent that Kenya had a ready Covid-19 defensive plan to be launched immediately the virus landed in Kenya, and this in itself was a winning point.
