MANDERA DEATHIn Mandera County on Friday, Governor Ali Roba reported the county’s first death - a business based in Mandera town. “Our rapid response team visited the private facility to check on the patient and took samples for Covid-19 testing. He said the businessman’s health deteriorated rapidly so he was rushed to Mandera County Referral Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. According to Mr Roba, Mandera stopped testing for Covid-19 mid-June after it became an expensive affair. “Mandera has borne the highest costs of collecting and transporting samples for testing to Nairobi because we had to charter flights.
