Public and private hospitals in Kisumu have overstretched their capacities as more cases of Covid 19 emerge, Health executive Boaz Nyunya has said. The county government is set to scale up testing after receiving 6,000 rapid testing kits from the Ministry of Health, Nyunya said. In a statement, Nyunya said Kisumu has so far registered 5,994 accumulative Covid-19 cases from 43,000 tests. Kisumu Central remains the epicentre of the disease in the county, followed by Kisumu East and Kisumu West. This emerged even as 161 more people tested positive for the virus across Kenya.
