The Kenya Medical Research Institute has projected that the rate of Covid-19 cases and deaths will peak in mid-March 2021.
The rise in infections is due to laxity in observing Covid-19 health guidelines and massive travels as learners reported back to school countrywide.
In addition, researchers project that at least 137,000 new cases and 116 deaths will be reported in the country by June this year.
The report also projects that there will be 1.1 million infections, by then.
However, most infections according to the research will remain undetected due to limited Covid-19 tests.
The Ministry of Health has asked Kenyans not to drop their guard in observing public health set measures aimed at preventing spread of Covid-19.
