According to the data released by CS Kagwe, most positive cases are between the ages of 20-39 years old.

The CS noted that this age group might not necessarily show symptoms of the novel coronavirus.

"The main age-group where infections are between ages 20-39. We call them ‘mosquitoes’ because a lot of them carry the virus but do not succumb to it," the Health CS said.

" Out of the 963 Covid-19 cases, 62% are male while 38% are female," he added.

CS Kagwe said that 182 out of the 214 Covid-19 cases detected at Kenya-Tanzania border points are foreigners.
