Some 152 people have tested positive of the coronavirus from a sample size of 2,213 in Kenya in the last 24 hours. In a statement from the Health ministry, Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said 29 patients have recovered from Covid-19, bringing the total to 86,717. But WHO is saying Covax risks falling behind its target due to competition for the vaccine doses by rich countries. WHO said countries seeking their own Covid-19 vaccine doses and making deals with drug companies threatened the supply to poor and middle-income countries. According to a distribution plan published by Covax Initiative, Kenya is in line to receive more than four million doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine.
