A Kenyan nurse has died from Covid-19 days after giving birth for the first time while undergoing treatment for the disease in hospital.

Local media reports that the nurse, identified as Marian Awuor Adumbo, was admitted to a hospital west of the capital, Nairobi, and had initially tested negative for Covid-19.

Her condition worsened and she was admitted to another health facility where she tested positive.

She was delivered of her baby and went into the intensive care unit where she later died.
