While the Kenyan government insists that we have only 16 reported cases of positive Coronavirus (COVID-19) and that all the patients are imported, Rwanda has today confirmed that three of the latest people to test positive for the virus traveled from Kenya.
As of yesterday, Rwanda had 36 confirmed cases of the virus having recorded their first case on Saturday 14th of March 2020 a day after Kenya’s first case whereby Kenya as of yesterday had confirmed only 16 cases despite being a bigger transport hub and with a way bigger population.
Kenyans on social media have expressed their shock over the news with most concerned whether the government is telling the whole truth about the confirmed cases in the country.

Three of the new 17 new #COVID19 cases in Rwanda were travellers from Kenya. What does this imply about Kenya?
