Health ministry officials led by Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe Saturday visited Kakamega County to examine measures taken to boost the fight against the coronavirus.

On Friday, the CS visited Kisii County and gave the daily coronavirus status report from there.

He praised the county for making preparations such as establishing five isolation facilities with 386 beds and acquiring 41 beds for patients needing intensive care.

Mr Kagwe also noted that the Kenya Medical Training College in the county, which is being used as a quarantine facility, has 400 beds.

Governor James Ongwae said it had 300 beds at isolation centres and would be acquiring 100 more. He promised to pay health workers’ salaries by next Tuesday.

Kisii county health workers have gone on strike in a demand for salary arrears since May. Homa Bay health workers are also on strike for similar reasons while those in Siaya have issued a notice.
