The body of Marian Awuor arrives at her home village for burial under tight security and ministry of health protocols.
Marian was a nurse working at Rachuonyo Sub-County Hospital, Homabay County.
She died of Covid-19 complications leaving behind a one-week-old baby.
According to the National Association of Kenya (NNAK), Ms. Awuor was previously admitted at the Homa Bay County Hospital with flu-like symptoms in pregnancy where she tested positive for the coronavirus.
She reportedly later developed breathing complications and was transferred to the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital where a series of tests were done with the initial ones also coming out positive.
However, NNAK said, the final test results which came out on Thursday last week returned negative for COVID-19.
Ms. Awuor also gave birth to a baby boy while under high dependency care including oxygen augmentation.
The medical care worker’s condition is however said to have worsened on Sunday at 4pm when she passed on from COVID-19 complications, leaving behind the week-old baby.
May God protect her baby boy and comfort her friends and family.
