When Quarantined for a public health issue, are you a criminal?

This is a question that lingers on our minds as community. The perception out here in our communities is that being quarantined is not viewed as a public health strategy for infection control by ordinary Kenyans . It is viewed more like an arrest, more a police cell where once in you are more a suspect or you are a criminal waiting to be charged for an offense.Why are people running away from Quarantine? What is there that we don't know? Could this is be the reason for low turnout in areas where Corona Virus Disease testing is being undertaken.? 

The attribute to this is lack inclusivity in approach/design as well as reaching out communities on the same to ensure they have information on the what, why, how and where on quarantine facilities to make it easy to own infection control to halt spread of COVID-19 pandemic.

We call upon the government agencies to ensure communities are at the centre to ensure we defeat the Covid-19 pandemic. Treatment of asumptive cases and  people in quarantine in an inhuman way  will make it worse.
