Kenya on Tuesday recorded 271 new Covid-19 cases from over 4,019 samples tested in the last 24 hours raising the total caseload to 30,636.
While making the announcement during the daily briefing in Nairobi, Health CAS Rashid Aman also said that another 208 patients had recovered from the virus, bringing the country’s total recoveries to 17,368.
In the same period, five more patients succumbed to the disease, raising the total Covid-19 deaths in Kenya to 487.
Dr. Aman also warned the youth who are the majority of Kenya’s population not to drop their guard as those without underlying conditions are also dying from the virus.
“We urge the young people to stop reckless behavior and the feeling that they are immune to the disease by flouting the regulations that have been put in place so that we don’t spread this disease,” Aman said.
