No insurance covers Covid-19
The lawyer warned Kenyans that treatment of the disease is not covered by insurance.
"Insurance doesn’t cover COVID-19 medical bills. And no Government anywhere can shoulder it. Responsibility therefore for containing the spread and treatment of COVID-19 is personal responsibility. To blame GoK for its spread or treatment is falsehood and hypocrisy," he stated.
