With the first few cases of coronavirus detected in the country, unprecedented public health measures have been put in place. The closure of schools, working from home and limited movements due to self-imposed quarantine to those suspicious of having come into contact with positive cases means a whole new order of health delivery is created.
For one, normal hospital visits for non-covid related cases will not stop. How do we ensure care for those seeking routine visits for malaria, hypertension, HIV care amongst others is not interrupted? Secondly, with an increased number of people in self-quarantine, there is need to create linkages.
