Seven people have succumbed to coronavirus in Kenya in the last 24 hours, pushing the national fatality tally to 689. The youngest who tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 24 hours was a six-month-old infant and the oldest 81. Meanwhile, recruitment of 400 volunteers for Covid-19 vaccine trial is set to begin in Kilifi County. This will make Kenya the second country in the continent after South Africa to engage in Covid-19 vaccine trial. This endorsement will ensure that African scientists are accorded the opportunity to exercise their technical capacity to run clinical trials on the herbal products.
