Doctors Warn Of New Covid-19 Variant Spreading In Kenya

It was also reported that Dr. Ahmed Kalebi, an independent consultant pathologist, also believes there has been a surge in respiratory illnesses over the past two weeks.

Kalebi added that many people are suffering from flu-like symptoms: cough, throat and chest pain and runny nose.

“These are signs and symptoms of an ongoing outbreak of viral respiratory infection. However, it is not unusual or unexpected as we are now in the flu season,” he said, as reported by the newspaper.

Dr. Kalebi asked the country’s Ministry of Health to share data more regularly and update the public with evidence to allay fears as well as to inform public health measures.
