The Ministry of Health is banking on the community policing groups such as the Nyumba Kumi Initiative, local administration and estate groups to monitor the Covid-19 patients on home-based care.
Health Chief Administrative Secretary Mercy Mwangangi said this on Monday when she announced 59 new Covid-19 cases, raising the national tally to 4,797.

The ministry launched the home-based care a fortnight ago to lessen the burden being borne by public facilities owing to the increasing number of Covid-19 patients.

Three-year-old among Bartica’s four new COVID-19 cases -health officer, mayor in appeals for precautions to be taken seriously
Four persons, including a three-year-old child, have tested positive for COVID-19 at Bartica as cases in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni region continue to rise.
The four persons are relatives of Bartica’s first known novel coronavirus disease patient, who tested positive for the respiratory disease last Wednesday.
The patient, who was displaying critical symptoms of the disease, was transferred to an isolation facility in Georgetown on the same date, while samples were taken from ten persons who had close contact with the patient.
Regional Health Officer (RHO) Edward Sagala announced yesterday that the results of nine of the ten persons had returned and four were positive.
“All of the contacts are from Bartica and are now in institutional isolation for 14 days, as is mandated by the COVID-19 guidelines, then they will be retested,” Sagala noted.
