Mike Sonko, Nairobi Gov. states the alcohol is “throat sanitizer”. He believes that this liquor will play a role in preventing people from getting the virus, but World Health Organizations state that alcohol isn’t a safe guard again coronavirus and that people should actually reduce drinking habits. Hennessy made a statement rejecting any of the claims from governor about protecting others from the virus.
