Abstract

Corona Virus (COVID 19) is a disease that has affected the world with countries facing uncertainty on effectiveness of mitigation measures including quarantine to influence behavior. Kenya is among the vulnerable countries considering its strategic position. Kisumu County is one of the 47 counties with a devolved health system.

During the pandemic, counties were tasked to lead the COVID 19 mitigation measures. This paper describes the key mitigation measures undertaken between March 2020 to December 2021 which includes establishment of a mitigation taskforce, enforcement of WHO and Kenya country measures. KHIS data for the period reveals a decline in reported cases an indication on the success by the county.
