Nurses and clinical officers on Monday staged a demonstration outside Afya House in an effort to have their grievances addressed.
The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers members gathered at Uhuru Park where they proceeded to the Ministry of Health headquarters to conduct a peaceful protest.
"We are here to demand that we be given personal protective equipment. We don't want to infect like our friends and relatives that is why we are out of hospitals," KUCO SG George Gibore said.
"If we won't get risk allowances then those assuming there is no risk should go to the work."
They have maintained they won't go back to work until all their grievances are addressed.
They will be burying their colleagues who passed on in Nandi county on Tuesday.
They have further dismissed reports that the country has enough ICU beds, adding that their colleagues passed on while in private hospitals because they had failed to secure a bed in public hospitals.
The healthcare workers have been on strike since last Monday to demand among others others quality personal protective equipment, comprehensive medical insurance cover.
So far nine clinical and 13 doctors have succumbed to the virus while the number of nurses who have died reached 29 after one more died in Trans Nzoia on Friday.
