Vipimo vya Uganda vilivyopima dereva wa Kenya vimeonyesha kwamba ameambukizwa virusi vya Corona, lakini alivyovuka mpaka na kuingia Kenya siku hiyo hiyo alipimwa na mamlaka za Kenya na kuonekana hana virusi.
Hii inaonyesha kwamba vipimo vya Uganda ni "highly sensitive" ambapo vya Kenya ni " less sensitive ". Hii maana yake ni kwamba, Kenya kuna watu wengi ambao wameambukizwa lakini vipimo vinashindwa kuwabaini na kuonyesha kwamba hawajaambukizwa.

Kenya medical research institute(KEMRI) has overturned the COVID-19 test results of Kenyan long-distance truck driver, who had been tested in Uganda and the result was positive. According to Taita-Taveta health officials, the truck driver victim had been tested on the Malaba border along the Kenya-Uganda border on May 3 while on his way to Tororo. On 7th May, the Ugandan authorities called the driver and informed him that he had tested positive for COVID-19.
As reported by the Standard, the health officials in the region reported that at the time he received the disturbing outcome of the test, near Maungu Township on his way to Mombasa. The suspect was caught and isolated at the Voi County Referral Hospital, by the County COVID -19 Response team at Maungu Township. The response team undertook further confirmatory test meanwhile, contact tracing started taking the course as per the standard procedure.
The Standard reports that further confirmatory tests on the COVID-19 suspected victim at the Kemri Laboratories in Kilifi County showed negative results. But the health officials said further tests will be run on the patient, in close collaboration with Kemri experts before the truck driver is released. On Thursday, Health Executive John Mwakima Mwangeka confirmed that the truck driver has since tested negative at the Kemri laboratories in Kilifi County after another test was done.
The county executive committee (CEC) member said the joint chairpersons of the Covid-19 Emergency Response Team have since been informed of the outcome of the test and briefed on the protocols to be followed, this is due to the fact that test report from Uganda had shown positive result to COVID-19 test on the truck driver. Mwangeka had declared that “In order to protect the local community, the truck drivers will not be allowed into the county until their Covid-19 test results are known,” The battle of COVID -19 is still on.
