Kenya now has confirmed 110 cases of COVID-19 after 29 more people have tested positive in the country out of 662 samples tested in the last 24 hours.

28 of the 29 who have tested positive for COVID-19 in Kenya include 28 Kenyans and one Congolese and have brought the number to a worrying 110 positive cases in the country.

The 29 who have tested positive for COVID-19  in Kenya within the last 24 hours are now in isolation and include three people in Agha Khan hospitals. The 29 include 13 males and 12 females while 23 of the total were detected in quarantine facilities.

Six of the 29 who have tested positive for COVID-19 are contacts of the 110 confirmed cases in Kenya.

All the 110 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Kenya range between age 16 and 64 with the Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe saying passengers of both Matatus and motorbikes advised to wear masks before boarding.

Traffic police officers will soon have thermo-guns to help them check temperatures of passengers t help identify the positive cases.

“The situation in our country is not getting better, it is worsening and as a government, we are working hard and I am sad that Kenyans are trivializing our efforts to fight this pandemic,” the Health CS has said referring to the social media trolling of the two first cured patients in Kenya.

“Why would we make PR with the lives of the two cured Kenyans, I appeal to the media not to spite these efforts and call upon the law enforcers to arrest these social media users,” the Health CS posed.

“We have lost two patients, one in Nairobi and another in Mombasa, bringing the number of patients who have died from COVID-19 in Kenya to three,” the Health CS has said.

“Kilifi Deputy Governor is now well and has tested negative thrice for COVID-19 and is soon set to be discharged from the health facility from where the issue with the law will follow up with him,” the Health CS Mutahi Kagwe has said.

The Kilifi Deputy governor Gideon Saburi is set to face charges after he defied mandatory quarantine orders and mingled with members of the public once he arrived from Germany which was then an epicentre of COVID-19, exposing a large number of Kenyans to the virus.
