Hospitals in Kenya have greatly felt the economic effects of Covid-19 with the sick now avoiding visiting medical facilities.

It is quite ironical that during the Coronavirus epidemic, when medical workers should be busy working in various medical facilities, some have lost their jobs.

I didn't have the guts to visit a medical facility for fear of being tested for the deadly Coronavirus," she said.

A number of medical workers who spoke to Nairobi News in confidence also confirmed that indeed the number of patients visiting medical facilities have declined.

Nairobi News has established that a number of medical facilities have also forced their members of staff into taking pay cuts.
