Kenya became the second country in East Africa after Uganda to confirm the deadly Indian Covid-19 variant responsible for a spike in infections and fatalities in India.
Acting Director-General for Health Patrick Amoth said the Indian variant was detected among five Indian nationals attached to a firm in Kisumu County. The five had returned from India last Thursday in a bid to beat the May 1 flight ban imposed by the government.
“We have gone ahead, together with the Kisumu health team, to do contact tracing,” said Dr Amoth.
