On Tuesday, Health CAS Mercy Mwangangi said the nine new
cases were from 234 samples tested in the last 24 hours.
She said 1,160 people who have come into contact with the
positive cases are being monitored.
Mwangangi also said the government will use boarding schools
as isolation for testing and treating coronavirus patients should the situation
get worse.
She added that the national government in consultation with
the county government will hire 1000 medics to bolster the current number.
“We are consulting with counties to hire more health workers
to help address the situation,” she said.
The Health CAS lauded health workers for doing a good job so
far and said the ministry will ensure they are provided with proper gear for
handling coronavirus patients.
