Covid-19: Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria Bans Travelers from Other Counties
Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria has announced a ban on travelers from other counties in a bid to avert the spread of coronavirus.
Speaking on Friday, Governor Mwangi said visitors will not be allowed into Murang’a since they place the county under the risk of the pandemic.
Similarly, he asked Murang’a residents not to travel to other counties unless the trip is necessary. He said they have received reports that some residents are traveling to neighboring counties to drink after the county ordered the closure of all bars and entertainment joints.
“I know we have banned partying here, I know some people are moving to other counties to drink, and then they come back, we will not allow that, this coronavirus is not a joke,” said Mwangi.
He said travelers from Murang’a will henceforth be required to explain where they are traveling to and for what reason.
At the same time, Governor Mwangi urged the national government to ban travel between counties, saying this will help combat the spread of the dreaded illness.
“I know this will be unpopular but I do not want visitors in Murang’a from other counties, Murang’a people should also stay in Murang’a, experts say this virus is spread by people moving from one place to the other,” he said.
“This coronavirus is following movement of people, we do not want you to travel and infect people or travel and bring the disease here, we have to be careful.”

If you don't have pre-existing respiratory conditions like Asthma & Bronchitis or never had it when you was a child you need not to worry.
If you don't and never had those conditions and catch Corona, it's gone in 7 to 14 days.
However....
If you had Asthma or Bronchitis as a child and outgrew the conditions, you are at high risk of Death from Corona especially as a middle aged man or woman.
The last paragraph is crucial...the middle aged people dying had Asthma or Bronchitis as a child and out grew the conditions.
I had bronchitis as a Child and out grew it....now it's back as of a few days ago.
Did X-rays yesterday...30-40% of my lungs are clogged up. Should that percentile hit 60-70%...am as good as dead.
Be safe and love one another

You are doing great Mwangi wa Iria to take precautions. Way to go! Things are not easy at all. I wish where I am we took similar precautions earlier on because we are in a lock down now. This virus is spreading rapidly. I mean rapidly and very very fast

How are you going to prevent all those who walk or use boda boda to Murang'a from the neighboring counties? Easier said than done.

How on earth do you tell who is from Muranga or other surrounding counties. Maybe by how people dress, speak kiswahili, or walk? Aiii! If you are targeting the drunks who have to go to other counties to quench their urges, then say so.

@ Sue it actually is more senseless than u can imagine. If I remember, Muranga is surrounded by 5 counties. There are no fences or border guards and more likely than not, some farms cross county lines. Paths are everywhere. It sounds good but is not practical.

@mundumugo - Everything Wairia says is very practical. Wairia is no longer at ease! He is trying everything to fight the fast moving ghost of coronavirus.
And yes, Kikuyus (both male and female) from Murang’a are easily identified by their dark brown teeth. Now you know what to look for.

@Sei, Murang'a border patrol cam dentists will be checking the color of the teeth to know who is their citizen. On the other hand your geography is very wrong. Murang'a and Nyandarua border is on the Aberdare Ranges where they have the best rivers in Kenya and best tooth brush (Cypress trees). Their teeth are as white as snow.

@kenya - it seems that @Sei touched a raw nerve in your brain by telling you the true? Mountains, rivers, and cypress trees won’t fit your mouth to generate white teeth. A tube of tooth paste and a tooth brush may serve you better. Your local geography is skewed at best; go back to school to be retrained on topography.

@Seroney, our grandparents and those before them used sugarcane and twigs to brush their teeth. They had white and perfect teeth. The Masaai even do not brush their teeth and they have perfect teeth. The modern tooth brush & tooth paste is very modern. The mechanism of brushing the teeth using a bush of whatever form is the one that clean the teeth. Tooth paste is good but you can do without it and still have perfect teeth.

Who would want to go to Muranga anyway? Mr. Little knowledge Mwangi wa .... can build a fence if he so wishes! At the end of the day, he kolona will pass! Follow medical and pandemic advise people; stop poking your old grandma's ideas which are not scientifically proven!
