What you need to know:

  • Kenya’s positivity rate, he said, is still high despite the seemingly decreasing numbers of new infections.
  • On Tuesday, Kenya recorded 271 new Covid-19 cases from over 4,019 samples tested.
  • Dr Francis Kuria said there are other parameters to be considered in determining flattening of the curve.

Decreasing coronavirus cases do not indicate flattening of the curve, the Health ministry has cautioned.

During Tuesday’s press briefing, Health Chief Administrative Secretary Rashid Aman cautioned Kenyans not to be overly optimistic that the worst is over even as daily new cases plunge.
