CAS Rashid Aman has urged Kenyans to visit health facilities when they have malaria. Speaking during his daily brief on Tuesday, Aman said malaria symptoms are similar to those of coronavirus. Malaria symptoms include fever, weak joints, lack of appetite, which are similar to the symptoms of coronavirus. "We need to get people to visit facilities anytime that they feel they have symptoms of malaria," Aman said. "The other reasons could be fear of being tested for Covid-19 or fear of contracting Covid-19 when visiting our health facilities."
