Kisumu County has recorded a surge in malaria cases with most patients also testing positive for Covid-19 since the “double mutant” Indian variant was reported there a couple of months ago.
Areas with the highest malaria burden include; Nyando, Nyakach and Seme and Kisumu East sub-counties with children as the worst hit as their admissions had surged three times in the last two months, according to records at the Kisumu County Hospital.
