What you need to know:

  •  
  • The Covid-19 curve continued fluctuating Wednesday, with 321 new cases and five deaths reported.
  • The figures raised Kenya’s total to 39,907 cases and 748 deaths after 569,678 tests.
  • The Ministry of Health reported 22 cases on Monday and 53 on September 30.

As the number of Covid-19 cases and deaths continues to rise, the Nation has observed repeated patterns of peaks and valleys.

The patterns have puzzled experts, with many saying variations in testing and data reporting are their main drivers.
