Why UoN will not reopen soon

The University of Nairobi is unlikely to reopen in September as earlier planned after 14 members of staff tested positive for Covid-19.
"Nairobi is the most affected part of the country and the university sits right at the centre of the city. It will not be prudent to reopen,"  Vice-Chancellor Stephen Kiama said on Wednesday.
There has been a surge in the number of Covid-19 cases recorded in Nairobi each day.
