What you need to know:

  • Since the beginning of July, 48 Kenyans have lost their lives to the disease.
  • At the beginning of June, the death toll stood at 149.

  • In April, the death rate averaged 5.1 per cent while May had 3.4 per cent.

Every day when Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe and his team give Covid-19 updates, they announce deaths usually as mere numbers.

“Unfortunately,” Mr Kagwe routinely starts, before adding, “we have also lost X or Y number of patients.”
