More than 2,000 people who have arrived in Kenya since March 22nd are set to undergo testing for coronavirus.
The mass testing will commence on Sunday, March 29th, according to Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe. The over 2,000 persons are currently under 14-day mandatory quarantine in various government-designated hotels and facilities.
Kagwe said the testing will be carried out in line with the guidelines issued by the World Health Organization on testing for the virus and in accordance with one’s arrival date. “This exercise will also be extended to all close contacts of confirmed cases, who have been monitored for at least five days by our contact follow-up teams,” said CS Kagwe in a press briefing on Friday.
Kenya has so far confirmed 31 cases of the illness. One patient was reported to have fully recovered while another, a 66-year-old Kenyan man, succumbed to the virus at the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi on Thursday.
On Friday, CS Kagwe announced two patients, including a Kenyan and a French national, have been admitted at the Aga Khan ICU in critical condition.
He added that 1,067 individuals believed to be close contacts of the 31 patients have been identified. 136 of them were discharged after completing the 14-day mandatory follow up period.
“We are now remaining with 931 close contacts that our contact tracing teams are monitoring,” said CS Kagwe.
