Out of these cases, 17 are from Makongeni Police Station with Thika holding 3 of the results that have already been released.
The cases are expected to rise after all the results are received. The stations are yet to receive the outcome of the rest of the inmates and those of 25 police officers who were tested last week following the discovery of the initial two cases.
The 20 are now receiving treatment at the Thika Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Isolation Centre.
On July 9, two people held at the two stations tested positive for COVID-19 and transferred to KU Referral Hospital.
Those who spoke to 3T in condition of anonymity feel the need for the Ministry of Health and the Public Health Department to conduct some mass testing among the officers as well as any of the suspected contact.
