The country's case fatality rate stands at 2.9 per cent, which is lower than the global average of 49 per cent.
Chief Administrative Secretary Rashid Aman noted that the total number of COVID-19 patients who have recovered in the country now stands at 88, after 24 more patients were discharged on Tuesday.
"We have not registered any re-infection of people who have been released, they are all fairing well after they have been released," he said.
Kenya's recovery rate is 29 per cent, which is lower than the global average.
Over the same period, 127 people tested positive for the virus out of 2,247 samples analyzed.
The youngest person to test positive was 3 weeks old, while the oldest was 72 years old.
Nairobi County has the highest number of infections at 62, followed by Mombasa (34), Busia (14), Kiambu (4), Kilifi (4), Kwale (4), Machakos (4), and Uasin Gishu (1).
Chief Administrative Secretary Rashid Aman warned against stigmatizing those who have contracted the virus, saying it poses a huge threat in the fight against the virus.
"Stigma towards those who have tested positive should not be tolerated, stigmatizing anyone during a pandemic threatens everyone, stigma undermines effort in testing and treating the disease," he said.
He also noted that 72 health workers have contracted the virus since March, with 19 currently hospitalized and 53 having recovered.
