300-bed capacity
The President had highlighted the limitations at some counties in regard to bed-capacity to deal with the outbreak urging governors to ensure they have Coronavirus facilities with at least 300 beds.
The President further highlighted Siaya and Busia counties which he noted only had 10-bed and 34-bed facilities to handle Covid-19 patients.
"If there is a surge in infections in these two counties, their healthcare systems will be overwhelmed, so the counties must move with speed to have at least 300 beds since it is just a matter of times before it explodes," he stated at the time.
