The government is looking for 140 people whose Covid-19 test results came back positive but could not be reached. This emerged yesterday as the government announced 127 new cases of the virus, with emphasis that the disease has now established itself in the community. The Health ministry said despite hundreds of Kenyans showing up for mass testing, some individuals left the wrong phone numbers. Mwangangi said the increase in the number of cases was as a result of an increase in the number of samples tested. A total 274 positive cases - 127 reported yesterday and 147 on Thursday - are in different stages of being admitted to hospital.
