Esipisu sent his condolences to the families of the deceased saying Kenyan Mission in the UK is ready to offer information and consular support to those who need it.

โ€œAs of 17 April 2020, confirmed Covid-19 cases in the UK stood at 108,093; with a total of 14, 576 deaths. Of those whoโ€™ve lost their lives, two are Kenyan. Our thoughts & prayers are with their families,โ€ Esipisu said through his Twitter handle.

โ€œI have reached out to the Kenyan community and student representatives in the UK to discuss their welfare as they grapple with the impact of Covid-19. We are working with communities to support those in distress, and working with business to keep wheels of trade open,โ€ he added.

Esipisu says Kenyans can reach Kenyaโ€™s Mission in the UK on +44 7423 840 893 for any information on Covid-19.

The two deaths bring the total number of Kenyans to die to the disease outside the country to seven after five others succumbed to the virus in the US.
