Topline summary:

• In the past 2 days, cases of infection are still being reported in 3 Nairobi settlements that reported cases in the last reprt —Korogocho (13% of reporters from this settlement), Kwa Njenga (7%) and Mathare (10%)

• In the past 2 days, cases of infection are also now being reported in Kibera (Nairobi) and Obunga (Kisumu) — both reporting 3%, up from 0 in last report.

• Testing: All settlements reporting cases are also reporting that testing is taking place, apart from Obunga (Kisumu), which has not reported testing. Viwandani is also reporting some testing (4% of respondents from this settlement said there had been testing in their village), but no reported cases.

• Deaths: in the past 2 days there have been deaths related to Covid-19 in 1 Nairobi settlement, Kwa Reuben, where 5% of reporters from this settlement said there had been deaths in their village. Kwa Reuben last reported cases of infection on 23 May (3% of reporters).

• Prevention and response activities: the 'what is being done' simple index remains similar from the last report with percentages across 20–38% for all settlements except Obunga (44%) and Naivasha (12%) — a 100% score would mean all reporters agree all areas of activity are taking place in their village.

• Still very small percentages of reporters are saying that isolation centres are present in their areas — In Nairobi these are only in Kibera (3%), Korogocho (3%), Kwa Njenga (7%) and Viwandani (9%); with highest reported in Nakuru in Naivasha (23%). All other settlements are at 0.

• Information (on coronavirus and government directives) and awareness-raising rates are particularly low for 3 settlements — Kwa Njenga and Kwa Reuben (Nairobi) and Naivasha (Nakuru) — when compared to percentages of reporters reporting these activities in other settlements; many reach into the 50-60%s and higher.

• All settlements report social distancing, at between 25% and 81% of reporters in each settlement, except Mathare (10%).
