\nSo far, 120 police officers have been trained on how to keep themselves and the public safe.<\/p>\n

The training will feature health workers, law enforcement officers and administrators in all the sub-counties.
\nMeanwhile, the church has called on Christians to overcome fear amid the corona scare.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Standard during a prayer service attended by 12 in the 300-capacity Metro Church, the Rev Mike Brawan said Kenyans should have faith that the virus will be destroyed.<\/p>\n

Brawan said while Kenyans should be cautious to avoid being infected, they should not keep away from places of worship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to face the virus head-on and not run away from it because that is giving evil control over good,\u201d the cleric said, urging the Church to maintain hygiene even in places of worship.<\/p>\n

Rich Smith, an American faithful, said, \u201cIt is not a death sentence but a way of life.”<\/p>\n

Top country leaders on Sauray congregated at State House for national prayers over the coronavirus.Clerics called for unity amid the fight against covid-19 spread, saying the respiratory disease knows no race or class.They urged leaders to put aside political differences and join efforts in fighting the pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
