Kenya records 271 new COVID-19 cases in sustained decline

Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the cases were detected from 5,830 samples, raising infections in the country so far to 97,398.

There were four fatalities on Wednesday raising deaths in the country to 1,694.

There were fears that cases will spiral on resumption, but the cases have been on the decline since Monday.
