The rise in the number of Covid-19 cases in Kiambu county is due to its high population and the reopening of the economy, Governor James Nyoro has said. Speaking on Friday at the county headquarters, he said Kiambu is the second-most populous county after Nairobi and more people are coming out to be tested. “Kiambu being the second-most populous county after Nairobi and by housing international organisations, there are more people who want to know their status. We only opened doors last week at the Tigoni Covid-19 Emergency Centre where most of them are symptomatic. Nyoro said the county Covid-19 emergency kitty was set up by well-wishers and communities to help the needy and vulnerable.
