Still one day over a hundred infected in Kenya, although slightly down from yesterday. It was the Director of the Kenyan Health Department, Mercy Mwangangi, who recently reported 127 new cases of Covid-19 virus positivity in Kenya. The bulletin for the last 24 hours refers to tests carried out on 3831 swabs, the highest number ever used since the emergency arrived in Kenya. In addition to the 127 sick patients, there have been 17 healings and related discharge from health care facilities and unfortunately 4 deaths.
However, the deaths (all four in Mombasa) were already suffering from hypertension and diabetes, or asthma.
The active cases in the country reached 1215, 74,000 tampons used and 438 total healings.
"The new cases are distributed as follows: Nairobi 76, Mombasa 19, Busia 16, Uasin Gishu 8 Kiambu-8 and Isiolo 1," said Mwangangi. "The high numbers recorded are the result of mass testing but also the high transmission of the virus to the community. Especially because there are still many transgressors who use unofficial routes to cross the security zones".
