Scientists believe the actual number of cases is higher, they just do not know by how many because there are still people who have not been tested. With this in mind, Nairobi and Mombasa are not the only towns in Kenya that could have many people with the virus. They seem less likely to become seriously ill than adults, making up less than two per cent of Kenya’s coronavirus cases. Either way, a growing body of evidence suggests that infected children can transmit the virus, possibly as easily as adults. Some scientists have suggested that children may be less susceptible to infection with Covid-19 because they have fewer of these receptors.
