Cost of Covid-19 test in Kenya
Initially the cost of a single test for the Coronavirus was averaging at Sh15,000 at private facilities.
The government would later subsidize and eventually zero-rate the procedure to encourage more Kenyans to turn up for testing.
In May, the government announced free Coronavirus testing in targeted areas of the country and at public medical facilities.
On May 11, after restaurants were re-opened, the Ministry of Health approved an average of Sh1,000 for testing hotel workers.
