Kenya had tested 1,866,825 people for the coronavirus as of Sunday, announced the Ministry of Health (MoH).
The East African nation has been slow in testing its citizens due to shortages of testing kits, with many public hospitals unable to conduct the exercise. The country’s daily average testing is 2,500.
MoH on Sunday announced 161 new cases, raising the total number of confirmed cases to 175,337. The cases were detected from 2805 samples tested between Saturday and Sunday.
