Curfew Tunayo!
31st December is one of the most celebrated days around the globe, and the enjoyment that happens here in Kenya is no exception. Some people attend church keshas while others host and turn up with New Year’s Eve parties. As we say goodbye to 2020 today, let’s not forget to make it home by 10pm!
Everything Online
Shule – zoom. Church – zoom. Bible study – zoom. Birthday Party – zoom. Everything – zoom. It is the platform that has brought us together this year, an essential tool that has kept us up to date and allowed us to continue holding local and international meetings – some of which would have been better as emails!
Stop! Temeperature Check & Sanitize
On average, how many times does an askari stop you at the entrance of a public building armed with a temperature gun and hand sanitizer? It doesn’t matter if you have gone through this procedure a few times already that very day, hii ni kama sheria. And heaven help you if your temperature reads above 37.5°C.
One Metre Apart
A future with PPE as the main fashion seems possible, but for now, we can still wear our kawaida clothes when we go out. However, we have continuously been cautioned to keep a 1 metre distance from people in gatherings and public spaces. Though the real question is: have you carried a tape measure with you to ensure you are 1 metre apart?
Mask ni Essential
How many times have you caught yourself by your front door, ready to head out, when you realize there’s something you’re missing? Going through your mental checklist reminds you of what it is – a face mask! Whether it’s a kitenge mask, a disposable mask, or an N95, kumbuka tu that mask ni essential.
Osha Mikono
MoH has told us again and again, kuosha mikono ni muhimu. And now, almost everywhere you turn, there is a handwashing station. Whether it’s outside the supermarket, pharmacy, or estate, unafaa uoshe mikono na maji na sabuni kabla uingie.
