The 12 who have tested positive for coronavirus in the last 24 hours are 8 males and 4 females and range between 2 and 68 years of age.

CAS Doctor Mercy Mwangangi has also revealed that the government is on the process of tracing 648 contacts of the 122 confirmed cases.

Doctor Mercy Mwangangi has also called upon those working to minimize on hardcopies and instead make use of softcopies to minimize physical exchange which in turn will minimize the spread of coronavirus.

The health CAS has also called upon those hoarding oxygen cylinders to stop as it is frustrating the fight against coronavirus in Kenya unnecessarily.

The government has embarked on local production of face masks that will be soon be distributed across the counties to ensure boda bodas and passengers in matatus wear them.
