A 32 year old Kenyan nurse identified as Ms Awuor Adumbo Marian who tested positive for coronavirus and gave birth to a healthy bouncing baby two weeks ago, while on oxygen support, lost her life on Sunday.

Public Health Director for Kisii County Dr Onkware Richard said Ms Adumbo from Rachuonyo Sub-county passed on at 4pm after nearly a fortnight of battling the illness.

The deceased contracted the deadly virus at eight months of pregnancy and she had a normal birth.

She tested positive on 20^th July and gave birth on 24^th July 2020 at Kisii Teaching & Referral Hospital, but her samples including that of 29^th July had tested negative twice.

Unfortunately, she has passed on. One of her lungs collapsed doe to coronavirus complications, ‘said Dr Richard.

The nurse’s baby tested negative for covid-19, but they decided to place the baby in the nursery for close observation.

The deceased’s husband as well as her other close contacts were self-quarantined.

The nurse had earlier complained that she was neglected by ICU staff who never wanted to attend to her since she tested positive for the deadly virus.
