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.

Kenya's Covid-19 case load stands at 77, 372 after 968 more people tested positive on Sunday.

Fourteen patients succumbed to the disease, bringing the cumulative fatalities to 1,380 while 155 were discharged taking the total recoveries to 51,507.
