Mental Health

Mental health issues are on the increase as COVID-19 cases increase in the country, further paralyzing the lives of Kenyans. The government measures to cushion the spread of COVID-19, which include school closure, banning social gatherings, and temporary unemployment, which has led to a long period of isolation. The psychological impacts for many people include high levels of stress, fear, and anger, which may be a result of unplanned changes. For many people, fear has been triggered by the awareness by a low probability of survival.
