Bishop Margaret Wanjiru Diagnosed With COVID-19 After Hosting Prayers

Former Assistant Minister for Water and the ex-Starehe Member of Parliament Bishop Margaret Wanjiru has been admitted in hospital after testing positive for COVID-19.

Bishop Margaret Wanjiru who is famous for founding and heading the Jesus Is Alive Ministries is currently in the Intensive Care Unit fighting the COVID-19 virus.

The former Starehe MP is suspected to have caught the COVID-19 virus during a prayer session she hosted at her home and was attended by 18 people despite the government directing there should be no gatherings of more than fifteen people.

Bishop Margaret Wanjiru is said to have fallen ill a few days after the prayer meeting with three more people who were present in the meeting testing positive.

The prayer meeting organized by Bishop Margaret Wanjiru in her Runda home and which is believed to have been the ground of COVID-19 to more than eight people is against the government directives and hence illegal and is likely to have legal implications on her.

Bishop Margaret Wanjiru is currently in stable condition and the Ministry of Health has already traced her contacts for immediate quarantine.

Kenya currently has 1,109 COVID-19 cases after the Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi confirmed the highest ever the number of positive cases in 24 hours yesterday, 21st May 2020 to be 80.

Forty-one of those that were confirmed positive for COVID-19 were from Nairobi, which was a reason for concern as numbers seem to be spiking as Kenyans disregard the Ministry of Health directives.

Kenya has currently recorded 50 fatalities to COVID-19 and 375 recoveries putting the number of those actively fighting the virus at 613.

The youngest of the 1,109 COVID-19 cases is a six-month-old child with the Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe reiterating that young people too are at risk of COVID-19 and hence should be more careful as they are the most active and tend to easily spread the virus.
