Covid-19 recoveries have surpassed the new infections in a single day, indicating slow transmission rates in the country.
On Tuesday Kenya reported 173 recoveries from the virus while 151 people tested positive from a sample of 2552 tested in the last 24 hours.
It is the first since March when the Ministry of Health announced its first case that recoveries are higher than infections.
“The numbers show that transmission of the virus has been curtailed to some extent and is not spreading as fast as before,” said Health CAS Rashid Aman.
Kenyan government closed down bars on March 25 and in August it banned restaurants from selling alcohol in an effort to contain the spread of the virus.
