On July 20, Jeff Koinange shocked the country when he announced that he had contacted the virus.

“Folks, just to let you know, I have tested positive for Covid-19. I am doing Good. No symptoms…and my family is fine. All my close contacts have been informed. Right now I am in self-isolation. Many thanks to Royal Media Services management for its support. Stay safe and God bless!” he tweeted.

Koinange also said that he was asymptomatic until he got tested and thats when the test returned positive.

Days before Koinange’s announcement, his Citizen TV colleague, Senior Political Reporter Stephen Letoo also announced that he had tested positive for the virus.
