The world and Kenya face a potential pandemic as the respiratory virus Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects world populations. Nations have been forced to intervene and issue directions under executive orders to ensure the pandemic is contained. Kenya has reported 110 confirmed COVID-19 cases (as at 2nd April, 2020), three persons have succumbed and 2 people have fully recovered. Most of the affected people had entered/returned to Kenya from different parts of the world. Most of the people who have contracted COVID 19 are between the 16-74 years of age. As a result, since February 2020, Kenya put in place several precautionary measures to mitigate the pandemic in its early stages. However, the economic status of the population of country won't be simple to control COVID 19, if government won't integrate the realistic feasible timely plans. This article highlights the preparedness, response, transmissibility of Covid-19 and proposes intuitions to manage COVID-19 in Kenya. Currently it is clear that since first confirmation to current, the transmission of the COVID-19 is exponentially increasing in Kenya.
世界和肯尼亚正面临着一场潜在的大流行病，因为呼吸道病毒 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）正在影响世界人口。各国被迫介入并发布行政命令，以确保大流行得到控制。截至 2020 年 4 月 2 日，肯尼亚报告了 110 例确诊的 COVID-19 病例（截至 2020 年 4 月 2 日），有 3 人死亡，2 人完全康复。大多数受影响的人是从世界不同地区进入/返回肯尼亚的。大多数感染 COVID-19 的人年龄在 16-74 岁之间。因此，自 2020 年 2 月以来，肯尼亚采取了几项预防措施，以在大流行的早期阶段加以缓解。然而，如果政府不整合现实可行的及时计划，国家的人口的经济状况将难以控制 COVID-19。本文重点介绍了 COVID-19 的准备、应对、传播性，并提出了在肯尼亚管理 COVID-19 的建议。目前很明显，自首次确诊以来，COVID-19 在肯尼亚的传播呈指数级增长。
