Article Synopsis
- Initial SARS-CoV-2 transmission peaked in densely populated areas of Kenya, gradually spreading to remote regions like Kajiado County, which struggle with inadequate healthcare.
- In a study from March 2020 to March 2022, dry blood spots (DBS) were collected from patients to detect SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies using ELISA, revealing a seropositivity rate of 7.3%.
- High seropositivity was found among the elderly and males, with the Mashuru and Meto health facilities showing the highest rates, indicating significant SARS-CoV-2 transmission in these underserved pastoralist communities.
