Kenyan journalists at NTV on Tuesday led people in an appreciation clap for health care workers on the front line of coronavirus pandemic.
The journalists were filmed asking Kenyans to join them at 12:00 local time (10:00 GMT) in clapping for all health care workers;
At 12 noon, wherever you are, stop what you are doing and for a minute, clap or honk your horn as a way of encouragement to frontline workers in the war against Covid -19.

The minister of health on Monday said discussions on their allowances were ongoing.
