    "content": "Mombasa to Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and South Sudan. On 23rd April 2020, Uganda’s Ministry of Health reported that five Kenyan truck drivers tested positive for COVID-19 in Uganda after crossing through Malaba and Busia border posts. Three went through the Malaba Border Post and two went through the Busia Border Post. It is noted that the Mombasa Port, which cargo going through Malaba originates, has become an epicentre for Coronavirus and a possible transmission area owing to ongoing cargo traffic. It has been observed that most truck drivers and turn boys do not adhere to the Ministry of Health (MoH) guidelines on wearing masks, sanitizing and keeping social distance. It has also been observed that no detection plans or arrangements for outbound truck drivers are in place. This, coupled with the high human traffic at the Malaba Border, has heightened the risks of the spread of the virus while the Kocholia Sub-County Hospital which serves the area is underequipped and understaffed to manage the pandemic."
