Mr. Muthui also recommended that services provided should allow the use of a one-time pin (OTP) and cards to identify customers instead of fingerprints.

The AON managing director also implored AON service providers to put hand washing terminals and in all areas of their operation. Besides, he pointed out that teachers will continue accessing medical services during these difficult moments.

Mr. Muthui said, “We are available to provide updates on self-quarantine, ambulatory and hospital support through 0732353535, 0729471414 and 0800721316.”
