Health CS Mutahi Kagwe on Wednesday, April 15, announced that 9 individuals had tested positive for Covid-19, bringing the total number of confirmed cases within the country to 225
The new confirmed cases, who are all Kenyans, came after the ministry tested over 800 samples in the previous 24 hours. The CS noted that 12 more patients recovered from the virus raising the total number to 53.
None of the cases had a history of travel and none were in a quarantine center. Five of the cases were from Nairobi and the rest from Mombasa.
One person, however, passed away bringing the total to 10. 2,336 are being monitored to help curb the spread of the virus.

"Fellow Kenyans, we are aware that there are those looking at our figures and celebrating a bit too early. Let me send a word of caution, we are not out of danger. A comparative review of countries now being overrun by the virus shows that they were reporting similar figures as we are now.
"We note that our 4.6 per cent death rate is within the global range of 6.3 per cent," stated Kagwe warning Kenyans to be cautious.
During the address, the CS also condemned an act in which a section of people attacked police officers in Malindi, Coast Region, as they were carrying out their duties.
In his address, the CS urged people to respect officers and also challenged human rights groups to raise alarm the way they do when police officers are on the wrong.
"We are deeply perturbed to see a section of Kenyans not cooperating with police... We condemn this despicable behavior where people attacked the police in Malindi.
"I commend the police for ensuring nationwide curfew is obeyed. I have no doubt that the work the police force is doing is helping us mitigate the situation in which we are in. Let us cooperate with security. It is very concerning to see the kind of behavior we saw in Malindi," stated the CS.
He further revealed that the country received a consignment of 18,000 kits from Chinese Billionaire Jack Ma.
