Country Director for CHAI Mr Gerald Macharia said 2,000 rapid antigen testing kits will be donated to Nakuru County to kick start the testing.
“CHAI will also support the training of 60 Medical Lab Technologists on the Covid-19 Rapid Antigen testing,” he said.
Rapid antigen testing is a diagnostic test that directly detects the presence or absence of a specific protein (antigen) that causes Covid-19.
The technology does not require a laboratory for the processing of results, which are processed within 15 minutes.
Also, with the technology, individuals who are at a greater risk of contracting the virus can easily be identified.
Nakuru Chief Officer of Public Health Samuel King’ori said the technology will boost the fight against the spread of the virus. ....
