The management of the Kisumu Yatch Club has announced closure of the facility for two weeks following surging cases of Covid-19.
In a statement dated June 6, 202, the management said that a number of its members had been hospitalised with Covid-19, hence the closure.
“Due to increasing cases of Covid-19 infection in Kisumu County and many hospitals in Kisumu being full of Covid -19 patients, it has become a matter of great concern for the Management Committee to contain the pandemic for the safety of members, staff and their immediate families,” the statement read in part.
“Many of our club members with Covid-19 are in isolation and as Kisumu according to statistics has become the new epicentre of Covid-19 pandemic, the management committee has decided to close the club for two weeks effective Monday 7th June 2021 and open Monday 21st, June 2021.”
