Nairobi — Seven of the new coronavirus cases that were reported in Kenya on Thursday are on mourners who had traveled from Kibera slum in Nairobi, the Health Ministry said.
Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the seven had obtained a permit illegally to attend a burial in Siaya, only to be found to be positive.
\"The Siaya story is a sad one because the departure point of that case is actually in Kibera, somebody in Kibera without the authority to authorize anybody to travel signed a document that allowed and was respected by police all the way from Kibera taking mourners for a funeral in Siaya,\" he said at a news conference on Thursday when he announced 80 new cases, raising the total in the country to 1,109.
He regretted that Kenyans were taking lightly the coronavirus situation in the country that continues to register double-digit figures.

An assessment by the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics indicates that Nigeria's economy will go into a recession at an average of -4.4 per cent, the finance minister, Zainab Ahmed, has said.
A country's economy goes into recession when its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reduces for two consecutive quarters.
Mrs Ahmed's statement suggests Nigeria's GDP would reduce for the first quarter of 2020 and reduce further for the second quarter, indicating an official recession.
Nigeria also closed a large part of her economy to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Mrs Ahmed also spoke on why Nigeria was gradually re-opening its economy despite a daily increase in coronavirus cases.
Focusing on the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) pillar, there are many highlights and lessons of Uganda's frontline service providers fighting coronavirus stigma.
Importantly, a Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) pillar was purposively included in the ministry of Health-led Covid-19 national response strategy to handle behavioural change and stigma reduction interventions.
This has been a result of the MHPSS participatory and intensive health education on Covid-19 and has reduced the levels of anxiety and stigma in communities even though there was that isolated case in Kalangala where a recovered person was disowned by some village mates.
The MHPSS pillar has received considerable support from sister departments like Butabika national referral mental health hospital, Makerere University department of mental health, Uganda Counseling Association, among others.
In support of World Health Organization (WHO) guidance to countries, it is critical to integrate mental health psychosocial support into medical interventions in managing viral infectious diseases of Covid-19 magnitude because community engagement plays a significant role in preventing further spread and helps in addressing stigma that usually accompany such diseases due to myths and lack of reliable, factual and readily available information during the emergency phase.
