“As we embark on preparing for any rise in the number of COVID-19 infections, the Machakos Government has converted Machakos Stadium into a health facility, said Dr Mutua.


Dr Mutua said that Machakos Level V Hospital is only 200m from the stadium hence any medications or health workers required to treat patients can be dispatched promptly.


He said that the county has put 1,000 beds in the new isolation centre.
Dr Mutua preparedness comes after the Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said that Machakos County already has several cases.
