Dear @MOH_Kenya
A thread on the rights of those in quarantine c.c. @asmali77 @irunguhoughton @ahmedsalims @steven_nyabwa #LockDownKenya https://twitter.com/Asmali77/status/1247209458100588546

1/6 Quarantine is necessary to isolate healthy people who may have become exposed to the virus so they can be monitored and tested. #LockDownKenya

2/6 @WHO recommends that the dignity and human rights of persons in quarantine. Adequate food, water, hygiene and protection from infection must be provided.  #LockDownKenya

3/6 Tragically, the @MOH_Kenya directive of mandatory quarantine and isolation of people affected by COVID-19 has been poorly planned, uncoordinated and not guided by any guideline available to the public.  #LockDownKenya

4/6 There has been recklessness in the way people have been handled or had to face exorbitant costs. Too many mandatory centres have exposed them to deplorable living conditions and a lack of information.  #LockDownKenya

5/6 Those quarantined have a right to know what to expect in terms of the quality of the services provided, period, costs and for those serving them to have protective equipment. #LockDownKenya
