The Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) acting secretary-general, Dr Chibanzi Mwachonda, has tested COVID-19 positive.

He said that he got the virus while administering his official duties.

“On behalf of the National Executive Council, I would like to inform all KMPDU members and the general public that I have tested positive for COVID-19…I’m currently in stable condition and under self-isolation. My family is safe, contact tracing and testing of all close contacts is ongoing,” he said.

Dr Mwachonda said he experienced coughs and stomach upsets but that he is well.

The medic who was tested before travelling to Mombasa to celebrate Eid al-Adha urged Kenyans to follow the Ministry of Health guidelines like wearing face-masks and maintaining social distance.
