Col. Oguna said he developed mild coronavirus-related symptoms after returning from an assignment outside Nairobi after which he underwent testing and that is when the results returned positive for COVID-19.

“Recently, having come from an assignment out of town, I developed mild coronavirus related symptoms and got tested. The results came back positive for Coronavirus and I am now receiving medical care and responding well to treatment at an isolation and treatment facility,” said Oguna.

“Contact tracing is on-going and my family is okay. I urge all Kenyans to take this disease seriously and take all the necessary precautions to avoid getting infected,” he stated.
