NAIROBI, July 17 (Xinhua) -- When Joan Macharia's brother early this month had symptoms of COVID-19 that include dry cough and fever, he visited a government hospital in the coastal city of Mombasa where he lives and got tested.

The results came out positive after about five days, but the doctors at the facility had already asked him to self-isolate at home, take medicine to boost his immunity and to eliminate the symptoms, recounted Nairobi resident Macharia on Friday.
