ODM leader Raila Odinga has tested positive for Covid-19.

In a statement on Thursday, Raila said he feels strong despite the results.

Raila had checked into Nairobi Hospital on Tuesday for a series of tests after complaining of fatigue when he returned from a grueling five-day tour of the Coast region where he had drummed up support for the Building Bridges Initiative.

“While the tests were several, one important result, which I have authorised the doctors to make public is that I have been found to have been exposed to Covid-19,” the former Prime Minister said.
