The cases were confirmed after a total of 2,198 samples were tested in the last 24 hours, raising total number of positive cases in the country to 887.
Of the 57, 34 were male while 23 were female.
“The youngest of the cases is a 2-year-old while the oldest is 61 years. Cumulatively, we have so far tested 43,712 samples,” the statement reads in part.
The distribution of the cases by counties is as follows: Mombasa (35), Nairobi (17), Kajiado (3), Kwale (1), and Kitui (1).
“We are happy to note that 12 patients have been discharged from hospital, bringing the total number of people who have so far recovered from Coronavirus to 313,” the press briefing signed by Oguna further reads.
Another 12 Tanzanian truck drivers tested positive at the border testing facilities over the last 24 hours, the latest report revealed.
