Health CS Mutahi Kagwe on Saturday named some of the Nairobi estates that have registered some cases of Coronavirus in the country.

Speaking at Afya House, the CS noted that Kenyans should adhere to the guidelines issued by the ministry because local transmission of the virus was on the rise.

He, however, did not outline whether the government would come up with stringent measures to contain the spread of the virus in city estates.

Below are some of the estates where cases of Coronavirus have been reported in Nairobi:

  • Kilimani (6)

  • Eastleigh (an Imam died of Coronavirus)
  • Buruburu
  • Tassia
  • Parklands
  • Donholm
  • Hurlingham
  • Madaraka

This comes as 1115 people were tested and 16 tested positive, taking the national tally to 262.

Out of the 16, 12 are male and four are female.

Seven more people have been discharged bringing the number of recoveries in the country to 60.

Two patients also lost their lives bringing the number of those who have succumbed to the disease in Kenya to 12.
