One in three people in Nairobi has been infected by Covid-19, according to a new analysis of blood samples.

antibody analysis that has been happening for the past eight month also established that three in 10,000 people infected with the coronavirus in Nairobi died. This is much lower than the 100 deaths in every 10,000 Covid infections reported in the UK.
Another antibody study by Kemri and Wellcome Trust in June last year estimated that 2.7 million Kenyans might have been exposed to the Covid-19, many of them much earlier than when the first positive case was reported in the country.
Ghastly as these statistics may be, they could be the tip of the iceberg "due to sub-optimal testing and the national testing strategy not being fully implemented", the researchers say.
