This takes the Covid-19 national tally to 5,811, Health Chief Administrative Secretary Mercy Mwangangi has said.
During the daily Covid-19 briefing at Afya House, Nairobi on Saturday, Dr Mwangangi also revealed that 31 people were discharged from various hospitals after full recovery.
She said that the number of positive cases are bound to rise and soon, health facilities will be overburdened.
“As a ministry, we have adopted a community based approach, which places our county governments and the people at the centre of community health, particularly in Covid-19 related matters," Dr Mwangangi said.
"The ministry reminds all county governments of the Ministry of Health regulation that every county must have a dedicated healthcare facility for Covid-19 cases," Dr Mwangangi said.
