Machakos County Governor Dr Alfred Mutua has converted Machakos Kenyatta Stadium into a Covid-19 Hospital.
The new health facility will now be used for housing temporary mass screening and treatment areas and will be able to isolate those who are found positive and treat them for mild and non-critical conditions.
According to Governor Mutua, the move was taken to free up Machakos Level 5 Hospital from being a treatment and an isolation centre at the same time.
Mutua further notes that the move will protect other patients at Machakos Level 5 from being infected with Covid-19.
“This will protect other patients from being infected too. It is out of experience from other hospitals where bacteria and viruses have been spread to patients who are suffering from other conditions,” Mutua posted on his twitter account on Monday afternoon.
The Machakos stadium is in a wide open area, and Mutua notes that this will allow good flow of air and conditions that promote distancing and quality of life.
Machakos Level 5 hospital is only 200 meters from the stadium and during treatment, any medications required or health workers required can be dispatched to the stadium within minutes by foot.
Governor Mutua says that the county now has 1000 isolation beds.
In addition to the stadium, Governor Mutua notes that his government has also identified a 200 bed hospital which.
He says the hospital has been set aside for critical care of Covid-19, patients.
Mutua went ahead to note that the hospital will be opened when everything is ready and set-up.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
