Covid 19 pandemic

Masks wearing is more important for preventing the virus's spread and the deadly covid 19 pandemic than social distancing and lock down orders.  infection trends shifted dramatically when masks wearing rules were implemented in the most hardest hit countries that is Italy and New york at the beginning of the month of April 2020.  The scientist asserted that by the end of May 2020 in Italy alone the infections had reduced by 78,000 and in New York by 66,000.  This information is important in that many people are walking out there without wearing masks claiming that they are unable to breath

The University of Nairobi Vice - Chancellor Professor Stephen Kiama today Friday June 12, 2020 at 3.00 p.m addressed the staff, students and University of Nairobi stakeholders.  In his speech he started by thanking all the members of staff and students.  He noted that since the University started online teaching and learning, he has not received any complaints from the students or staff, just to prove that every thing has been going on smoothly.

The Covid 19 pandemic is an invisible enemy.  The enemy moves among us unseen and we are relying mostly on case counts by the Ministry of Health to track its movement.  At the beginning of 2020, people ushered in the new year with great expectations.  Many made resolutions but little did they knew that the enemy was approaching. The enemy entered into the world and spread like wild fire.  All over the world people were in loss, frustrated, confused and in fear.  The moment the first case was announced in Kenya every thing came to a stand still.

In general, Archives consists of records that have been selected for permanent or long term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value.  This means that archives are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization.  They have been metaphorically defined as the secretion of an organism and are distinguished from documents that have been consciously written or created to communicate a particular message to posterity.  This records are unique and rare to find due to the content they contain. 

Records management refers to a set of activities required for systematically controlling the creation , distribution, use, maintenance and disposition of recorded information maintained as evidence of business activities and transaction.  During this time of Covid-19, a lot of records are being created.
