Despite the ever-soaring numbers of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Kenya, the country’s Ministry of health is thinking of treating some of its COVID-19 patients from home.

The Cabinet Secretary for Health Hon. Mutahi Kagwe said the Ministry is in the process of actualizing home and community-based care protocols and it will help free their health facilities from congestion.

“Over 80% of our patients in hospitals are asymptomatic, and therefore, may be managed from home,” said Kagwe.
