"Here in Kenya we have understood that Covid-19 is not a death sentence, but it can become very dangerous if you do not follow the minimum rules dictated by the World Health Organization and taken over by our Ministry of Health.
Speaking like this, three months after the first case of Coronavirus in Kenya and after 3305 positives, it was yesterday the Chief Administrative Secretary of Health of Kenya, Dr. Rashid Abdi Aman.
The good news is confirmed by the health facilities, which are not yet collapsing despite the limited places and which are having time to expand their spaces and to add beds and equipment to accommodate the new cases, which, moreover, are almost all not very serious.
During the usual daily bulletin from Covid-19, live on TV from Afya House in Nairobi, Abdi Aman began with what he considers to be good news: the recovery of another 72 patients in the last 24 hours.
"This shows that you heal easily from the virus and that, although it is just as easy to get sick, especially if you don't keep your distance, wear masks and the good rule of often disinfecting yourself, we have the ability to contain the Covid-19 continue to free up places in hospitals and isolation facilities for new patients," said Abdi Aman.
The other figures for Friday 12 June are for the newly infected, which are 90, two-thirds of whom come from the big cities, Nairobi and Mombasa, 12 are truckers tested at the border with Uganda and others, one each, come from six counties including the coastal county of Kilifi.
Of the new cases, 62 are men and 28 are women, with the youngest being 14 and the oldest 70. The swabs carried out in the last 24 hours were 2419, bringing the total to 108,666.
On the day when the active cases increase only by 14, there are unfortunately also 4 deaths.
