Learning suspended in all institutions as two more people test positive for coronavirus

Learning has been suspended in all learning institutions across the country indefinitely as a step towards containing the fast spreading Coronavirus.

This has been announced by President Uhuru Kenyatta as he announced that two more people have tested positive for the new virus after coming into contact with the first patient who arrived on March 5 from US via London.

In a live media briefing from Harambee House, the head of state announced that the two new patients of the virus have been quarantined at the Kenyatta National Hospital where the government had established an isolation centre.

The president said the two are among the 27 people who were taken into isolation on Saturday after coming into contact with the patient who was reported as the first patient to contract the Covid-19.

The two were identified after the government tested all the 27 individuals at the National Influenza Center.

“The medical teams are closely monitoring the patients and have been reported to be in stable condition and responding well to treatment,” Kenyatta said.
