Sauti Sol’s Bien-Aime Alusa is receiving Coronavirus treatment in quarantine after he tested positive for the virus a week ago.
Bien discovered he had contracted the virus while undergoing a test ahead of Sauti Sol’s show in Uganda. Covid-19 test is a must for people traveling abroad.
“For the last couple of days, I have been indoors. I started feeling weak and so I decided since I was travelling to Uganda, I needed the tests done before, only for me to test positive. We had a show in Uganda last week on Thursday. I had to cancel my attendance, but my boys, Bensoul and Nviiri, represented us,” said Bien during an interview with Word Is.

Bien lamented about the cost of Covid-19 treatment, he said was forced to use money from his own pocket because his health insurance provider does not cater for Coronavirus treatment.
“To be honest, I have not been sick for a long time. I feel the treatment itself is very expensive, even for me. I have used Sh8,000 on medicines alone. Our healthcare system has not cushioned us, so once it gets you, you may end up spending too much from your pockets. It could be worse since it could even kill you.”
Bien further revealed that his wife Chiki Onwukwe had tested negative for Coronavirus. The singer said he will be in quarantine alone until he recovers from the virus.
“I will be home for a while since I do not want to spread it. Corona will get anyone so long as we do not adhere to the said measures,” said Bien.
