Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho

Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho together with the county's Covid-19 response team have banned the home-based care programme.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the county administration resolved to discontinue the programme due to what was termed as improper set-ups for the Covid-19 patients taken care of at home.

The measure was announced alongside nine other revised measures to contain the spread of the Covid-19 infection.

Governor Joho and his team also imposed a ban on live performances at places of recreation as well as dancing in the establishments.
