COVID-19 SITUATION UPDATE: 25 July 2020
MOH Kenya /25 July 2020 12 | P a g e
2.0 KEY ACTIONS
2.1 Coordination
➢ Ongoing coordination meetings at both national and sub – national level in affected
counties.
2.2 Case Management and Infection Prevention & Control
➢ In the last 24 hours, 128 COVID-19 patients recovered and were discharged bringing the
total number of recoveries and discharges for COVID-19 to 7574.
2.3 Surveillance, Laboratory and Points of Entry
➢ All alerts were responded to and contact tracing continued in all affected counties.
➢ In the last 24 hours, 2052 samples were tested across various laboratories of which 375
samples turned positive for COVID-19. A total of 263,187 cumulative tests have so far
been conducted.
3.0 KEY CHALLENGES
➢ Inadequate resources for operations at the sub – national level for COVID-19 surveillance
activities, this is glaring at the sub – county level.
➢ The long turnaround time for relying laboratory results to clients in most counties is causing
delay in public health action.
➢ Weak diagnostic quality assurance system.
➢ Risk communication messages that may be out of step with the evolving epidemic and
interventions.
➢ Some communities are not reporting deaths, this is bringing a challenge in responding to
alerts and sample collections
➢ Complacency by community despite established community transmission
➢ Commodity insecurity at the sub – national level of personal protective equipment
➢ Inadequate assessment of households by RRTs for HBC. High level of normalcy assumed
with subsequent failure to follow public health guidelines in major towns.
➢ Low uptake of integrated data management systems especially for the digital case
investigation form in the CHT and KenyaEMR.
-
MOH Kenya /25 July 2020 13 | P a g e
4.0 NEXT STEPS ➢ Review and update the national contact tracing strategy for the country.
➢ Strengthen utilization of the integrated data management system moving forward by
incentivizing its use.
➢ Ensure capacity building of the sub – county teams from the remaining 20 counties on
rapid response, contact tracing and use of the data management systems. An additional
sub – county teams
➢ Strengthen COVID-19 diagnostic quality assurance systems.
➢ Address concern of poor quality of PPEs being distributed to the sub – national level.
➢ Adjust risk communication messages to address emerging issues and the evolving
epidemic.
➢ Ongoing work to ensure that KenyaEMR and Laboratory Management Information System
are interoperable.
