The spread of the coronavirus in Kenya has left many quarantined.

But that has come with its advantages and disadvantages.

Kenyan artiste, Vivianne and her manager cum hubby Sam West, have been forced to cancel events.

Speaking exclusively to , Sam said he is now helping with house chores.

'I have been busy helping cleaning the dishes and clothes.

Men should know that there is nowhere to hide and they have to learn.'

Adding on how coronavirus has affected their business Sam said,

'Entertainment jobs and motivational jobs have been rescheduled.

This is because hotels and entertainment joints have been shut down.

We have lost thousands of shillings and by the end of it all, we might lose millions.'

Sam was quick to point out that the situation is not all gloomy as something good has come out of it.

'I feel like this pandemic was brought by God.

The positive thing is that people are spending more time with their families.

Families are talking more. Men used to 'run' away from home but now they have no option.

We are teaching the kids and I am the headmaster.'

According to Sam his wife Vivianne has turned into a better cook than she was before.

'Vivianne is cooking more than she used to, which is a good thing.

I have also learned how to make perfect pancakes and sauteed potatoes.'

According to the Ministry of Health coronavirus cases in Kenya have reached 31.

One death was confirmed after a 66-year-old man succumbed.

So keep a social distance, sanitize, wash your hands regularly, avoid hugging or kissing people.
