No Face Masks: Obado Says Corona Doesn’t Kill, Orders A Total Reopening Of The Economy

Migori Governor Okoth Obado is not on a break despite being hated from accessing his office and weight of impeachment hanging on his head.

Speaking to journalists from his home where he’s currently working from, the governor said he has dropped him sing face masks and ordered for the reopening of the economy arguing that the virus has already spread wide across the country and from stories the locals have shown high rate of recovery.

He argues that with what he terms as God’s given recovery from Coronavirus, there’s nothing that should continue stifling the economy. Obado says the decision was arrived at unanimously by the county’s COVID-19 response committee that determined that the virus has reached less harmful levels to continue locking the economy.

In supporting this, Obado argues that a good number of people in the county including himself have already contracted the virus and recovered without severe effects. He also says the anticipated deaths too didn’t come further downplaying the need for lengthening the lockdown.

With the orders, Migori is now expected to go back to normalcy.

Kenya’s Coronavirus death rate has just passed the 600th mark.
