Leaders from the Eastleigh Business Community have called on the government to conduct Covid-19 mass testing across all the 17 sub-counties in Nairobi.

While welcoming the move by the government to restrict movements into and out of Eastleigh for 15 days, the leaders argued that the best way for the government to establish the true picture of the pandemic in Nairobi was to conduct mass testing.
