Kenya’s Covid-19 cases have risen to 737 after 22 more people tested positive, the Health ministry said Wednesday.
Health Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Rashid Aman said 22 more patients have recovered from the coronavirus, increasing the total recoveries to 281.
The health ministry on Wednesday recorded four more coronavirus deaths, bringing the tally to 40.
Dr Aman said the country will continue taking measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
While delivering the daily coronavirus briefing, Dr Aman announced that Kenya has acquired two mobile laboratories that will be used in the fight against Covid-19 at major border points.
He added that the country’s testing capacity has increased and the government has developed a resource plan for testing. The only hurdle is a global shortage of reagents but Kenya expects some consignments by July.
