To respond to the Covid-19 pandemic in Siaya county, Kenya, community health workers and young people are visiting households door to door, equipped with mobile technology, to educate people about preventative measures, screen for symptoms and manage suspected cases. 

The goal of the Integrated Covid-19 Response project is to visit every household in Siaya county – covering a population of nearly 1 million – and to train and support health workers. 

Neema Kaseje explains more about the project.
