Raila Undergoes Covid-19 Testing in Nairobi

ODM leader Raila Odinga has undergone voluntary Covid-19 testing in Nairobi.

Odinga took the test at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) Centre in Mbagathi, Nairobi on Sunday.

He said the move is aimed at encouraging more Kenyans to be tested for the disease to know their health status.

“I took the Covid 19 test at Kemri in Mbagathi earlier today. I took the opportunity to appeal to all Kenyans to go for testing. A COVID-19 certificate is becoming an important document as we continue battling the pandemic,” Odinga wrote on Twitter.

As of Sunday, Kenya had confirmed 3,594 cases of Covid-19, 103 deaths, and 1,253 recoveries.

Nairobi leads with 1,638 cases, translating to 44.7 percent of cases in the country followed by Mombasa 1,036 (30%) and Kajiado with 121, according to data from the Ministry of Health. 

38 out of the country’s 47 counties have reported cases of the virus. So far Kenya has tested a total of 115,336 samples.

@wisecounsel - “Expunged” my ass you fool!! Hundreds and thousands of people have died worldwide for the negligent deliberate spread of Wuhunvirus from China to the entire world - 188 countries! How do you justify this kind of nonsense? You have already expunged thousands of innocent people to include women and children! Accept the facts and go to hell!!!

You have no balls @ Wisecounsel threatening others with killing them for a killer disease you have spread to the whole world! Raila and others wouldn’t have been going through this testing had it not been the coronavirus that you are supporting! People are very mad with China! You ought to be ashamed of your freaking self! Shut up!

Those who were sick in March would have died by now. Why take the test if you are not sick. Could the sickness be in the testing? Just a thought!
