A Chikungunya outbreak has hit Mombasa County, with health officials confirming at least 25 positive cases following laboratory analysis at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI).
The mosquito-borne virus has resurfaced amid ongoing rains, which have created widespread breeding grounds, exacerbating the situation.
Out of 50 suspected cases, 45 samples were tested, revealing one case of dengue fever and 25 of Chikungunya, according to the Ministry of Health.
The most affected sub-counties are Mvita, Kisauni, Nyali, and Likoni.
