Dr Mogusu had been admitted at the Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital Intensive Care Unit ( ICU).
His death comes just a day after the KMPDU National Advisory Council resolved to suspend doctors strike for 14 days.
The union had in the past week expressed intentions to down their tools over staffing need, lack of health insurance and inadequate Personal Protective Equipment.
As of November 32 doctors had succumbed to the virus.
