News about her admission to the hospital was announced by her Machakos counterpart Dr. Alfred Mutua.

Mutua, who spoke during a function in Gatanga, Murang’a County on Tuesday, said Ngilu is being treated at a Nairobi hospital.

"Let us be careful. COVID-19 is real and can get anyone," Mutua said.

Reports indicate Ngilu has been in isolation at the Nairobi Hospital since Sunday. Ngilu received her first shot of the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in March this year.

Kenya has so far recorded a total of 197,959 COVID-19 positive cases from 2,097,101 samples. 3,872 people have died from the disease since March last year.
