So that is a warning sign to us so that we can go back to the drawing board to ensure that we continue to adhere to the public health social measures but more importantly that all who are eligible get vaccinated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Amoth stated that the country can simply avert more stringent measures if citizens take the jab and observe the health guidelines in place.<\/p>\n<p>His remarks came in the wake of the spread of the Omicron variant across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the UK reported the first Omicron death in the world from the COVID-19 variant despite indications by WHO that the variant was weaker than Delta which preceded it.<\/p>\n<p>Kenya has stepped up containment measures in the recent weeks and intensified vaccination campaigns after the neighboring Uganda confirmed the first cases of Omicron variant.<\/p>\n<p>On December 11, Kenya received another consignment of 1.17 million doses of Pfizer vaccines from the United States government bringing the total number of vaccines received in the country to 23,279,646.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the availability of vaccines in the country, health officials had only utilized of 8,189,322 vaccines as at December 12.

Such services will include but not limited to, KRA services, education, immigration services, hospital and prison visitation, NTSA and port services among others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, on Tuesday the government suffered a setback after the High Court in Nairobi halted the implementation of a government decision to lockout millions of unvaccinated citizens from public transport, public utility areas and government services.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Anthony Mrima made the ruling in an application by city lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui who opined that the directive was against the law as vaccination must be voluntary.<\/p>\n<p>In his petition, Kinyanjui sued the Principal Secretaries of both Health and Transport, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI, Kenya Dec 14 &#8211; The Ministry of Health has raised concern over the rising COVID-19 positivity rate in the country over a week-long period to 6.5 per cent, 1.5 per cent above the containment threshold recommended by WHO.
