The Health Ministry on Thursday dismissed claims that health workers who have been infected with Covid-19 contracted the disease from patients. "As numbers continue to rise, they include health workers which is a clear indication that they have not been spared," Kiuria said. Kuria said over 500 health workers have contracted the disease since the first case was reported in March. Kenya has so far reported 15, 601 positive cases of the disease after 796 people tested positive in the last 24 hrs. "It is from here we appeal to all our people to ensure they visit health facilities immediately they feel unwell," she said.
